How much will be savedHow much will be saved
When the strategy is implemented, the reduction in the number of accidents will save the Kingdom’s economy over 100 million B.D.
Please remember that the above number is an under estimate, it does not include the Human Grief and Suffering
If Included the figure would be 180 million B.D
Estimates of the economic benefits of savings by a 30% reduction of all accidents over a ten-year period
100 million BD.
The cost of implementing the improvements in the different sectors as outlined above, and amounts to a total of 13.9 million BD
If the Kingdom spends 25 million B.D over ten years
The minimum rate of return will be 4 to 1
Saving…… Summary

To ensure that the strategy is implemented, the following must be provided:
The highest possible level political support. Clearly defined leadership. Experienced safety experts to get the process underway. Sustainable financial resources must be available.
Improvement in road safety is an investment to ensure a safe environment for future generations
