The fifth and latest Global Status Report on Road Safety was released in December 2023. This manuscript reviews the stated objectives for these reports and provides an assessment of their achievement. Whenever appropriate, we compare the burden and progress in preventive or curative interventions of three other health conditions with comparable numbers of deaths and for which similar WHO reports exist. We conclude with recommendations for future road safety status reports. These include covering private sector actors, creating a standard definition for non-fatal injuries, commissioning new research to determine additional best practice legislation, refining some UN voluntary performance target indicators, producing country profiles for all WHO member states and enhancing communications and advocacy.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn 2003, the WHO declared road traffic injuries to be one of three neglected epidemics.1 In 2004, WHO published the World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention,2 where global data on road crash deaths and injuries were first discussed at length, yet no country-level data were collected. The first Global Status Report on Road Safety was released in 2009.3 It included country-level data on road traffic deaths.  \nIn 2010, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly (GA) declared the Decade for Action for Road Safety 2011–2020.4 WHO was commissioned to monitor progress towards the Decade’s target of a 50% reduction in fatal and non-fatal road traffic victims. This role was continued for the Decade of Action 2021–2030.5 To date, five Global Status Reports on Road Safety have been produced, with the latest released in December 2023.6–9  \nThe aims of the reports have expanded overtime. The aims of the first report3 were to generate standardised definitions and measures and to report on progress made by countries in implementing the recommendations in the 2004 World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention.2 The second report6 aimed to describe the burden of road traffic injuries, identify the implementation of effective interventions, assess any changes since the prior report, and identify gaps in road safety nationally. Additionally, it served as a baseline to  \nWHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPIC  \n\n| ⇒ WHO produces global status reports on a number of health conditions and topics.
