Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for people aged 5–29, yet they receive a fraction of the attention given to comparable health burdens. This founding report documents the toll, makes the case for the proven 'Safe System' approach, and argues that road safety — concentrated in low- and middle-income countries — is a high-tractability, under-implemented opportunity to save young lives cheaply.
