Number of road deaths in Norway 2006-2020
In 2020, there were 93 recorded traffic fatalities in Norway. The Scandinavian country had seen the number of road deaths drop significantly in the last ten years and by 2020 reported 18 incidents per one million inhabitants. This was the lowest road fatality prevalence in Europe. The Norwegian Government follows the multi-national road safety plan “Vision Zero”, which seeks to see the number of fatalities and serious injuries reduced to zero. In its “National Plan of Action for Road Safety” the Government elaborated on its short-term goals of having a maximum of 350 such incidents by 2030.
