Traffic Culture Starts With You

Statistics

As RoadSafetyCultures, our goal is to share road traffic safety data with the public in a transparent, understandable, and comparable manner, without adding personal interpretation.

The statistics featured on this page consist of information that is:

  • Evidence-based, relying on scientific and technical sources,

  • Clearly referenced and cited,

  • Designed to allow readers to make their own assessments,

  • Regularly reviewed to ensure they remain up-to-date.

Even when making conceptual choices—such as using the term "accident" instead of "crash"—our priority is to strengthen linguistic and contextual integrity without ever altering the numerical data.

The statistics shared on this platform are primarily based on the following official and institutional sources:

  • TurkStat (Turkish Statistical Institute)

  • The General Directorate of Security, the Gendarmerie General Command, and relevant internal security units.

  • The General Directorate of Highways (KGM) and official transportation-related institutions.

  • World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations reports.

  • International organizations such as the World Bank, OECD / ITF (International Transport Forum), and EUROSTAT.

  • National and international scientific articles, technical reports, and peer-reviewed publications.

Under every statistical data or chart, we ensure that the source name, year, and—where applicable—the report title are clearly stated. We take great care to use a transparent and verifiable citation format, such as "Source: TurkStat, 2024 Traffic Crash Statistics."

References and Citations

In every possible instance, a brief reference note is provided directly beneath the relevant table or chart:

  • For in-depth studies and technical reports, a comprehensive reference list is presented at the end of the page under the "References" heading.

  • When utilizing specific analyses from other institutions or researchers, we only quote within permitted limits and summarize the findings in our own words without altering the core message.

  • References are formatted clearly to ensure transparency (e.g., "Source: Ministry of Interior, 2024 Traffic Crash Report").
