Abstract
Annually, Iran experiences numerous fatal and financial accidents due to traffic collisions, emphasizing the need for effective strategic plans and prevention measures.This article examines the indicators of suburban traffic safety in Iran and compares them with Asian countries. In this article, key concepts of suburban traffic safety, including speed, seat belt usage, braking systems, etc., are investigated. Then, the indicators of suburban traffic safety in Iran and Asian countries are examined. Finally, based on data and statistics, the differences in traffic safety between Iran and Asian countries are discussed. In this study, traffic safety indicators such as the ratio of fatalities to road length, the ratio of injuries to road length, and the ratio of injuries to fatalities are examined. By examining these indicators in Iran and advanced and wealthy Asian countries, it is suggested that by improving vehicle safety, increasing road length, enforcing stricter laws, etc., steps can be taken to improve traffic safety indicators.
