Answer:
Mr K Shanmugam, Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Law:
1. The Member may refer to the report on the Annual Road Traffic
Situation 2023 on Police’s website for the annual number of road traffic accidents.
2. The Traffic Police (TP) does not track the number of road deaths per billion vehicle
kilometres. TP tracks the number of road deaths per 100,000 population, which is one of
the Global Health Observatory indicators, and Sustainable Development Goals tracked by
the World Health Organisation. TP also tracks the number of road deaths per 10,000
vehicles.
