There are several sites that provide an easy accessible source of information about European road safety risks and road safety measures in English. These include:
ERSO Country Profiles
The ERSO Country Profiles series uses data from a range of sources, including the CARE database, to provide an overview of the road safety situation in each country. The profiles of 27 EU Member States and 3 EFTA countries are currently available.
ESRA
Based on regular surveys ESRA (E-Survey of Road users Attitudes) provides scientific support to road safety policy making at the national and international levels. It provides information from Europe, America, and Australia and Oceania on a wide variety of road safety themes and different transport modes. It publishes thematic report as well as country factsheets.
ETSC Road Safety Performance Index
The ETSC Road Safety Performance Index (PIN) is a policy tool to help EU Member States improve road safety. By comparing Member States’ performance, it serves to identify and promote best practice in Europe and bring about the kind of political leadership that is needed to create a road transport system that maximises safety.
EU CARE
CARE is a EU database on road accidents at a high level of disaggregation, comprising detailed data on individual accidents as collected by the Member States. It publishes regular annual statistical reports, and basic facts on a wide variety of road safety topics.
EU Directives, Regulations, Decisions

The resources are organised by thematic areas, such as driving licences, traffic-law enforcement, professional drivers, vehicle safety, road infrastructure, transport of dangerous goods and emergency calls.
EU Key performance indicators (KPIs)
The European Commission, in cooperation with Member State experts, elaborated a first set of eight key road safety performance indicators (KPIs), which are an integral part of the EU road safety policy framework 2021-2030
EU Thematic reports
The EU Thematic Reports series aims to provide road safety practitioners with qualitative analysis and an overview of the latest research on a particular topic.
European Road Safety Observatory (ERSO)
The European Road Safety Observatory of the European Commission provides state-of-the-art syntheses of a wide variety of road traffic risks, specific risk groups, and countermeasures. It also provides basic factual information about road safety issues as well as country reports.
International Road Traffic and Accident Database (IRTAD)
International Road Traffic and Accident Database (IRTAD) collects and aggregates international data on road crashes. The database includes validated data for 32 countries. Most of IRTAD data can be found in IRTAD’s Road Safety Annual Reports. Online access to the full IRTAD database is available for subscribers via the OECD statistics portal.
Road Safety Decision Support System
The European Road Safety DSS has been developed within the European research project SafetyCube, funded within the Horizon 2020, the EU Research and Innovation Framework Programme. It aims to support evidence-based policy making and provides detailed interactive information on a large list of road accident risk factors and related road safety countermeasures.
