IRF World Road Statistics is the only global compilation of road and vehicle statistics. It is based on data compiled from official sources within national statistics offices and national road administrations in more than 185 countries. IRF also benefits from increased cooperation with international institutions such as Eurostat and Afristat, The World Bank, and the UN ECE and the African Development Bank.
Since it first appeared in 1963, World Road Statistics has been an indispensable reference tool for road professionals, statisticians, economists, journalists and development specialists around the world.
It is used by such agencies as the United Nations Development Programme, The World Bank and the CIA for their own publications: for example, the World Bank uses World Road Statistics to prepare a part of its own publication World Development Indicators.

Every year since 1964, the IRF has published the "World Road Statistics", the only comprehensive guide of its kind containing international road, traffic and transport data. This publication supplies Sustainable Development Indicators and relevant data to aid and development institutions, to international organisations, funding agencies and United Nations Divisions.
To accomplish this important work, the IRF is in constant contact with various Statistical Offices, Ministries, Governmental Departments and Road Federations to obtain accurate data for the latest edition of this publication.
The most recent publication in preparation, "World Road Statistics - 2010", to be supplied to all IRF members as well as sold to many important decision makers will contain data for the years 2003-2008.
