Road safety in Italy is a severe issue, with no evidence of significant improvement. In 2024, 173,364 incidents resulting in bodily injury were recorded—roughly 7,000 more than the previous year, a 4.1% increase—while the number of fatalities was 3,030, essentially unchanged from 2023. Urban areas were the site of 73.2% of accidents, and 69.3% of injuries were also documented. The total social cost of traffic accidents is estimated to be at €20 billion per year, which includes fatalities, medical expenditures, property damage, insurance costs, and lost productivity. After major gains between the 1990s and the early 2000s, road death rates have stopped decreasing. The accident rate, which is calculated as the number of accidents per thousand inhabitants, was 2.94 in 2024. According to experts, structurally reversing this trend will necessitate coordinated prevention measures, technology innovation, and infrastructure monitoring. Current levels are incompatible with the European targets established for 2030 and 2050, particularly for vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists.
