Fewer deaths in 2022 on Lithuanian roads

Last year, 120 people died on Lithuanian roads, which is the lowest number of road fatalities in the entire period of independence. In 2022, there were 43 road deaths per million inhabitants, a rate that for the first time managed to catch up with the European Union (EU) average in recent years, stated the Ministry of Transport and Communications.

On average, there were 45 road fatalities per million inhabitants in the EU in 2021 and 42 in 2020. A comparison of statistics across all EU countries shows that Malta, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands continue to have the lowest number of road deaths, with fewer than 30 deaths per million inhabitants.
