The Bahamas recorded 51 traffic fatalities in 2013, according to Minister of Transport and Aviation Glenys Hanna-Martin.
"We have a number of new roads and corridors in New Providence which have created an unfamiliar, and sometimes even disorientating, environment for road users," Hanna-Martin said in a statement.
"This creates a heightened imperative that we diligently navigate our streets, being cognizant of our own safety and the safety of every single other road user."
Police said there were 44 traffic fatalities in 2012 and 44 in 2011.
On Wednesday, two people were killed in separate traffic accidents.
Police said a male pedestrian was struck and killed on Prince Charles Drive opposite the Elizabeth Estates Police Station shortly before 8 a.m. The man's identity was not released.
Police also said that shortly after 7 p.m, Ricardo Edward Storr, 53, a resident of Cumberbatch Alley, off Wulff Road, was killed when the Nissan car he was in collided with a Mercedes Benz, which was being driven by a woman.
The accident happened near the Blake Road roundabout.
Storr's vehicle ended up in nearby bushes. Two female passengers who were in that car were injured and taken to hospital, police said.
Police said the driver of the Mercedes had minor injuries.
