World Road Statistics
IRF World Road Statistics is the only global compilation of road and vehicle statistics. It is based on data compiled from official sources within national statistics offices and national road administrations in more than 185 countries. It also benefits from increased IRF cooperation with international institutions such as Eurostat and Afristat, and the UN Economic Commissions for Europe and for Africa.
Since it first appeared in 1958, World Road Statistics has been an indispensable reference tool for road professionals, statisticians, economists, journalists and development specialists around the world.
It is used by such agencies as the United Nations Development Program, The World Bank and the CIA for their own publications: for example, the World Bank uses World Road Statistics to prepare a part of its own publication World Development Indicators.
The latest edition includes data on an additional 25 countries and a brand new section of analytical graphs. Chapters included in this year’s edition are:
- Road networks
- Road traffic
- Multimodal Traffic comparisons
- Vehicles in use
- Road accidents
- Production, Imports, Exports and first registrations of motor vehicles
- Road expenditures
- Fuel prices
