Jordan traffic accident costs near 942M dinars
Traffic accident costs in Jordan last year reached approximately 942 million Jordanian dinars, which is about 2.8% of the GDP, according to the President of the Traffic Accidents Society. These costs include material damages, medical expenses, and productivity losses, with insurance payouts of up to 20,000 dinars for fatalities and 7,500 dinars for serious injuries. Reports indicate that reducing fatalities and injuries requires an integrated traffic safety system that includes improving infrastructure, enhancing safety features through engineering, law enforcement, and awareness campaigns—especially in the capital, Amman, which accounts for more than half of the vehicles in the kingdom. During the first nine months of 2026, traffic-related deaths decreased by 2.12%, and serious injuries by 11.3%, as all dangerous sites were addressed within the 2025-2026 traffic safety plan.
