"History and trends" section

edit

I noticed that the "History and trends" section has a graph which isn't well explained. Would it be appropriate to interpret the graph, or do we need to find sources to explain back up the data in the graph? Radioactivated (talk) 13:44, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

There is a risk with NPOV. Source might be welcome, if any. One proposal which might be more or less balanced:
  • «Although the road safety target of 50 percent fewer road deaths in 2010 has not officially been met, an overall decrease of 43 percent in fatalities can be called a success for road safety in the European Union. Whether this decrease is the actual result of the EU road safety policy and the setting of road safety targets cannot be scientifically answered in this paper, although certain studies suggest that a connection is plausible.» [1]
  • «the greater distance driven per licensed driver in the U.S. is the main factor affecting the difference in road safety between the two countries» even if « U.S. drivers use proportionally more limited-access highways, which are safer per distance driven than other road types.»[2]
