These sculptures were created to alert people of the devastating results caused by car accidents and to raise public awareness of the road safety issues in the country. /VCG Photo

Bogota has a population of eight million people. Between 1996 and 2006, the city reduced its traffic fatality rate by more than 60 percent – from just over 22 fatalities per 100,000 people, to seven, according to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), a UK think tank. /VCG Photo

Despite the overall reduction, pedestrians remain overrepresented in the fatality figures, consistently making up 50 percent of the total. Most are male (80 percent) and young – the highest risk group being comprised of those aged 20-30. /VCG Photo
