Transport modes and road traffic mortality in the Americas: Deaths among pedestrian and motorcycle users through the lifespan.

In the Americas, almost half of road traffic deaths occur among motorcycle users and pedestrians (23% and 22%, respectively). Recent individual country trends show that nations are experiencing changes in deaths depending on the mode of transport used. While national trends are useful, analyses of disaggregated data by sex and age may provide more information about the impact of traffic crashes at different stages of the life course.
