Road Safety at Junctions in the EU is highlighted at the Traffic Safety Basic Facts 2015 available at the European Road Safety Observatory of the European Commission. These Traffic Safety Basic Facts contain a comprehensive series of statistical tables with the latest available data from the CARE database of the European Commission.
In 2013, 5.000 people were killed in road accidents at junctions throughout the EU, this number corresponds to a reduction of more than 50% since 2004. The proportion of fatalities occurring at junctions is higher on urban roads than on rural roads or motorways.
