Does road death mean car accident death or pedestrians or both?
Shrodingers dead person. You don't actually know until you know what policy position you're gonna use the dead guy to advance.

Usually road deaths is all deaths and pedestrians get split out as a sub category. Primary sources and academic papers are typicaly good. Analysis thereof almost always has a policy it's trying to advance and will frequently mix and match to that end. Internet comments are worse still.
