Source: Koh Santepheap
According to a report from the Ministry of Interior of Cambodia, on 16th March 2014 alone, there were 8 traffic cases happening across the country causing 5 death and 14 injuries, 13 of which were serious cases.
The accidents involve the following vehicles:
- Motors: 8
- Cars: 4
- Truck: 1
Most of the time, the traffic accidents were caused by over speeding. An interesting fact to this was that 8 people on their motorbike were severely injured when they did not have their helmet on.

Cambodia Road Traffic Accident and Victim Information System Annual Report 2009
The RCVIS Annual Report 2009 reviews the main road crash trends in Cambodia compared to previous years. In 2009, 21,519 road crash casualties were reported resulting from 12,538 estimated crashes. 1,717 were fatalities (an average of 4.7 fatalities per day) and 7,022 were severely injured. 18,410 estimated vehicles were involved in those crashes. The number of fatalities increased by 4% compared to 2008. The report also shows that over the last 5 years, the number of fatalities has almost doubled while the number of registered motorized vehicles has increased by 142%. Although the fatality rate per 10,000 registered vehicles has decreased from 15.1 in 2008 to 12.3 in 2009, the fatality rate per 100,000 inhabitants has increased from 12.3 in 2008 to 12.7 in 2009.
The report clearly shows that the leading causes of road crashes, fatalities, and injuries (potentially leading to
disability) are related to speed-related and drunk driving, in combination with low helmet wearing rates,
particularly among passengers and children. Almost 70% of fatalities were due to speed-related and drunk driving behaviours. Additionally, more than 70% of motorbike fatalities had head injuries. We believe that road crashes are preventable, and with appropriate interventions fatalities and injuries leading to permanent disability in Cambodia can be reduced.
Attention to identifying the most vulnerable road users continues to be a serious concern for the Royal
Government of Cambodia and stakeholders. Based on the current report, the majority of fatalities were motorbike riders and pedestrians, representing more than 80% of road crash fatalities. The majority of motorbike fatalities in 2009 were young road users between 15 to 29 years old, while most pedestrians were children and elderly, who are most commonly injured in the afternoon and nighttime hours.
Utilizing a Global Positioning System (GPS) database, the report highlights the most dangerous locations for road users and pedestrians. Significantly, the report disaggregates data related to pedestrian/motorbike/vehicle crashes, age groups, and crashes related to speed-related, drunk driving, or other behaviour related risk factors.
The locations identified in the report as being at high risk for road users and pedestrians are primarily located
along the national Cambodian highways in Phnom Penh, Kampong Cham, and Kandal Provinces.
Furthermore, based on the research study, conducted by Handicap International Belgium and the Institute of
Mobility – Hasselt University in Belgium, road crashes had an enormous impact on the social and economic
welfare of Cambodia in 2009. The study estimates the annual economic cost of road crashes in 2009 to equal approximately 248 million USD. This estimation represents an increase of 135 million USD compared to 2003.
This report details the key findings of road crashes and casualties, and provides recommendations on how these findings can be used to improve road safety in Cambodia.

Cambodia Road Traffic Accident and Victim Information System Annual Report 2008
Road crashes are a major cause of death, injury and disability, especially among younger age groups. They
negatively impact on individuals, families and communities, as well as the Royal Government of Cambodia.
The RCVIS Annual Report 2008 reviews the main road crash trends in Cambodia compared to previous years.
The report shows that over the last 5 years, the number of crashes increased by 150% and the number of
fatalities has almost doubled. . At the same time, the population has increased by 6% and the number of
registered motorized vehicles has increased by 132%. The fatality rate per 10,000 registered vehicles has
decreased from 17.8 in 2007 to 15.1 in 2008 although this number is still more than double the national target, which is set in the National Road Safety Action Plan.
Human error by road users is the leading cause of crashes and casualties on the roads of Cambodia, specifically dangerous behaviour such as excessive and inappropriate speed, drink-driving, dangerous overtaking and low helmet wearing rates. However, road crashes and casualties are preventable. Actions such as road safety education, awareness and enforcement should be increased to change the behaviour of drivers. Particularly, enforcing the new land traffic law is an important milestone for the Royal Government of Cambodia in its struggle against the rapidly increasing crashes and casualties, and worsening road safety situation, as the statistics in this report clearly highlight.
Global Positioning System (GPS) is integrated into this RCVIS Annual Report. This data is useful to identify crash locations, black spots and provides a deeper analysis on crashes. This information is being used by authorities and agencies active in the road safety sector, especially the Ministry of Public Work and Transport for interventions to reduce crashes and casualties on the road of Cambodia.
This report details the key findings of road crashes and casualties, and provides recommendations on how these findings can be used to improve the road safety sector and reduce road traffic crashes and casualties.

Cambodia Road Traffic Accident and Victim Information System Annual Report 2007
New land traffic law was endorsed by the National Assembly on 20 December 2006. Following the endorsement, Royal Decree was also made to use the law officially on 08 February 2007. While the traffic law has yet to be comprehensively enforced, it is an important milestone and its approval must be considered as a major step taken by the Cambodian government in its struggle against the rapidly increasing road accidents and casualties, and worsening road safety situation, as the statistics in this report clearly highlight.
Since human error by road users is the leading cause of accidents and casualties on the roads of Cambodia, it is critical that actions, particularly ones that focus on education and enforcement, are designed to change the behavior of drivers. In particular, dangerous behavior such as excessive and inappropriate speed, drink-driving, and low helmet wearing rates are contributing to the majority of accident and casualties.
With the integration of GPS data to the RTAVIS report, it is now possible to identify accident locations and black spots. This information adds a new dimension to accident analysis and hopefully can provide the authorities and agencies active in the road safety sector with more complete information from which to base policy and interventions to reduce accidents and casualties on the road of Cambodia.
Key Figures
- In 2007, 27,403 road traffic casualties were reported to RTAVIS, resulting from 9,449 accidents. Among them, 1,545 were fatalities (an average of 4.2 fatalities per day) and 7,150 were severely injured. 16,982 vehicleswere involved in those accidents.
- The number of road traffic fatalities has almost doubled over the last 5 years.
- Road traffic accidents increased more proportionally than road traffic and population.
- There are 17.8 fatalities per 10,000 registered vehicles, a decrease of 2% compared to 2006 but an
increase of 13% compare to 2005. Cambodia has one of the highest fatality rates in the region.
- In Phnom Penh, the number of fatalities has increased by 54% from 2006 to 2007. Most fatal accidents
are motorbike- four wheeler collisions.
- In Phnom Penh, the number of fatalities increased in all districts from 2006 to 2007. A significant increase
was noticed in Dangkao and Ruessei Keo districts.
- In comparison between 2006 and 2007, the number of fatalities on Chinese New Year and Khmer New Year did not increase, but on Pchum Ben and Water Festival the number of fatalities increased by 50% and
46% respectively.
- In comparison, the fatality rate per 10,000 registered two-wheelers has increased 32%. Conversely, fourwheelers (per 10,000 registered four-wheelers) has decreased 7%, compare to 2006.
- The number of fatalities on Asian highways has increased, except national road 4 where the number of
fatalities decreased by 9% in 2007 as compared to 2006.
- 50% of fatalities were due to speeding, while another 19% were caused by alcohol abuse.
- 17% of motorbikes’ riders involved in an accident in 2007, and who were not wearing helmets, suffered from head injuries. This figure decreased to 13% when riders wore a helmet.

Cambodia Road Traffic Accident And Victim Information System Annual Report 2006
Abstracts...
The year 2006 saw the adoption by the national assembly of the new traffic law. This new traffic law is an
important milestone and its approval must be considered as a major step taken by the Government of Cambodia in its struggle against road safety issues.
In 2006 the NRSC and HIB have made official their collaboration by signing a cooperation agreement defining the implementation of specific aspects of the National Road Safety Action Plan.
The combination of these two major events gives a legal framework of intervention which will support the
implementation of actions aiming at reducing the impact of road traffic accidents: human behaviour is indeed by far the leading cause of road traffic accidents in Cambodia and awareness and education campaigns alone
are not sufficient to prevent them.
RTAVIS, in 2006, developed a national network of data collection, both with the traffic police and health
structures. GPS use by traffic police was piloted in Phnom Penh, traffic accidents are located accurately and
black spots can be mapped. The use of GPS will be extended in 2007.
The year 2007 will be also crucial since the recently approved law will have to be enforced. That will be done only through the implementation of a broad scope of actions which will address the problems at various levels. The collaboration of the whole of the actors will be required to achieve this objective.
Recommendation 1: Enforce the new land traffic law
The new land traffic law has been signed by the King February 8, 2007. The new law introduces key new
elements that are expected to have a strong impact on the road safety situation:
- Every motorcyclist using a motorbike from 49 cc need to have a driving license;
- Helmet wearing is compulsory for all 2-3 motorized wheelers drivers2;
- Fastening seatbelts is compulsory for all car front seat occupants;
- Blood alcohol concentration limit is provided;
- Fines and penalties are better detailed and adapted to the gravity of the infraction.
The new law will then need to be accompanied by several sub-decrees to describe the enforcement
mechanisms and their timing. A transition period, accompanied by effective awareness and education
campaigns, will be necessary.

Cambodia Road Traffic Accident And Victim Information System Annual Report 2005
Abstract...
2005 was a crucial year for the improvement of road safety in Cambodia with the creation of the National Road Safety Committee, the adoption of a National Road Safety Action Plan and the elaboration of a new land traffic law.
The National Road Safety Committee, which is chaired by H.E. the Minister of Transport and is composed of high level representatives from various ministries involved in road safety, will be key in leading and coordinating the efforts of various stakeholders to improve road safety.
Cambodia is at the bottom of its vehicle-ownership curve but exponential growth of the number of road traffic casualties is expected in the coming years if no or little action is taken.
2006 will be another critical year with the foreseen adoption of the new land traffic law by the National
Assembly. As the present report will show, human behaviour is indeed by far the leading cause of road
traffic accidents in Cambodia and awareness and education campaigns alone are not sufficient to prevent
them. Increased legal framework and enforcement procedures are now more than ever necessary to
prevent road traffic accidents and make Cambodian roads safer.
Recommendation 1: Adopt the new land traffic law
The first draft of the new land traffic law has been approved by the Council of Ministers and will be now subject to public hearing. The new law will introduce key new elements that are expected to have a strong impact on the road safety situation:
! Every motorcyclist using a motorbike from 49 cc will need to have a driving license1;
! Helmet wearing will be compulsory for all 2-3 motorized wheelers drivers2;
! Fastening seatbelts will be compulsory for all car front seat occupants;
! Blood alcohol concentration limit will be provided;
! Fines and penalties will be better detailed and adapted to the gravity of the infraction.
The new law will then need to be accompanied by several sub-decrees to describe the enforcement mechanisms and their timing. It is indeed, for example, unrealistic to make helmet wearing compulsory
overnight. A transition period, accompanied by effective awareness and education campaigns, will be
necessary.

Cambodia Road Traffic Accident and Victim Information System Annual Report 2004
The objective of the Road Traffic Accident and Victim Information System (RTAVIS) is to provide government and development stakeholders in Cambodia with accurate, continuous and comprehensive information on road traffic accidents and victims.
It should allow them to better understand the current road safety situation, plan appropriate responses and
evaluate impact of current and future initiatives.
Three different ministries are involved in road traffic accident data collection in Cambodia:
- The Ministry of Public Works and Transport;
- The Ministry of Interior;
- The Ministry of Health.
Although the databases developed by these ministries have been providing relevant indications on the road
safety situation of the country, a need for improvement has been observed:
- The databases are not compatible between each other and there are important discrepancies between
them;
- They under-report the real situation;
- They are limited in their scope.
For those reasons, in early 2004, Handicap International Belgium (HIB), in collaboration with the Cambodian Red Cross (CRC), has proposed to the three ministries to assist them to develop a new system, based on a standardized and more detailed data collection form.
The new system has been progressively developed since the 1st of March 2004, in accordance with the
requirements of the ASEAN and the United Nations and in the framework of Action 2 (Road Accident Data
Systems) of the National Road Safety Action Plan of the Royal Government of Cambodia.
Today, RTAVIS collects, centralizes, analyses and disseminates information provided by three different
sources:
- Public hospitals;
- Private clinics;
- Traffic police.
By the end of 2004, information was being collected at 11 hospitals and private clinics in Phnom Penh and at
the Phnom Penh traffic police.
In 2005, the system will be progressively extended to cover the whole country, in collaboration with the
mentioned ministries and other partners such as the Belgian Technical Cooperation.
The present report analyses the information collected by RTAVIS for the year 2004. It is a synthesis of all the
monthly reports that were published throughout the year.
