Lack of enforcementOne of the biggest obstacles to safer roads is poor enforcement of traffic rules. But in many areas of the city it seems the traffic stops are more about making money than road safety. The number of road deaths has decreased from 36.2 per 100,000 people in 2015 to 32.7 out of every 100,000 in the WHO's latest report. The risk of a road traffic death is three times higher in poorer countries than in more affluent nations. But it has not been fast enough to meet the UN goal of halving road traffic deaths between 2016 and 2020.
