According to the World Health Organization (WHO), worldwide traffic collisions cause the death of 1.2 million people every year. By 2020, road traffic injuries are predicted to become the third largest contributor to the global burden of disease. In addition to the social pain and suffering they produce, traffic collisions cause significant economic costs. Social costs resulting from traffic collisions in Canada in 2004 were estimated at $62.7 billion. While continuous improvements in traffic safety have been recorded in the developed countries since 1970's, data show that the numbers of fatalities have relatively flattened over the past decade. Canada is no exception, where the number of fatalities had steadily decreased over time until the year 2000. On the other hand, the number of traffic related fatalities since 2000 has been fluctuating between a minimum of 2,430 in 2004 and a maximum of 2,610 in 2006.

根据世界卫生组织（世卫组织）的数据，全世界每年因交通碰撞造成120万人死亡。到2020年，道路交通伤害预计将成为全球疾病负担的第三大原因。交通碰撞除了造成社会痛苦和苦难外，还造成重大经济损失。2004年，加拿大交通事故造成的社会成本估计为627亿加元。虽然自七十年代以来，已发展国家的交通安全不断改善，但数据显示，过去十年来，死亡人数已相对稳定。加拿大也不例外，直到2000年，死亡人数一直在稳步下降。另一方面，自2000年以来，与交通有关的死亡人数一直在2004年的最低2，430人和2006年的最高2，610人之间波动。
