Severe accidents on Peruvian national and regional roads

Peru is a country with a complex geography. Moreover, it lacks minimal safe roads, higher in Andean and jungle territories. Depending on the classification they might receive, the num-ber of kilometers without pavement can reach up to 80%. Such a rate is alarming, consider-ing that internationally the United Nations promotes actions for road security since road ac-cidents are among the most common causes of death causes in the world. Then, employing data from Sutran, the current research has analyzed how the severity of accidents can affect road administration in Peru roads in 2021. Hence, the multinomial logistic regression was employed due to the nature of the data. It was found that regional routes had a higher risk than national roads when estimating the probability of having many dead and injured people because of a road accident.
