The SWOV fact sheet 'Road crash costs' has been updated. This fact sheet discusses the costs of road crashes in the Netherlands.
The social costs of road crashes in the Netherlands in 2020 are estimated at €27 billion (between €15 and €36 billion), equivalent to 3% (1.9-4.5%) of the gross domestic product (GDP). This is significantly higher than other traffic-related social costs such as traffic congestion (€3.5 to €4.6 billion) and environmental damage (€7.3 billion).
