Regulations appear not to have a protective effect on the occupants of vehicles and pedestrians, because the number of fatal injuries has increased in both groups. The statistics might have variations on the type of users, affected by the number of accidents, and fatal injuries related to the events in urban and peri-urban roads, and highways
