The attached file, "Road Safety Overview Armenia" published in 2019 provides a comprehensive overview of road safety in Armenia. It highlights that Armenia has a population of about 2.9 million and a population density of 101.5 inhabitants/km². Road traffic fatalities per 100,000 population have fluctuated, with a rate of 9.52 in 2017. Speeding is a major cause of accidents, accounting for about one-third of road accidents between 2013 and 2018. The National Road Safety Council (NRSC) plays a key role in managing road safety, but it requires further development. Pedestrians and cyclists are particularly vulnerable, making up a significant portion of fatalities. The economic cost of road crashes is substantial, estimated at around 4.1% of Armenia's GDP. The report also discusses institutional frameworks, enforcement, public campaigns, and infrastructure improvements, noting that Armenia has implement
ed measures like speed cameras but still lacks comprehensive vehicle safety standards. International organisations such as the World Bank and EIB provide financial and technical assistance to improve road safety in Armenia.
