Because of these very important caveats, users are strongly encouraged to check the metadata (when provided) using the links to each country source in the main wiki table (which can be sorted by topic e.g. road safety) before using the data for analysis. Despite these imperfections, this dataset does give insights into the very clear road safety impacts that are being observed during and post-lockdown. As set out in the last blogpost, many (but not all) countries are seeing record-level reductions in road accident fatalities, but these reductions should be considered within the environment of even-bigger reductions in road traffic. It will of course be of interest to see how these figures change as traffic levels return to their previous levels (or even increase further, given lower public transport use.)


The data are available in Excel here and as a CSV file here.
