Switzerland has seen a 15% drop in road deaths in 2016. Deaths have declined by 34% since 2010, and by 60% since 2001. The country now has the lowest road mortality (26 deaths per million inhabitants) in Europe, together with Norway.
As a result, the Swiss Federal Road Office (FEDRO) has received the 2017 ETSC Road Safety Performance Index (PIN) award. The annual award recognises long-term efforts to reduce deaths and serious injuries on European roads.
