About UN Global Road Safety Week
The Fourth UN Global Road Safety Week was held from 8-14 May 2017. The Week focused on speed and what can be done to address this key risk factor for road traffic deaths and injuries. Speed contributes to around one-third of all fatal road traffic crashes in high-income countries, and up to half in low- and middle-income countries. Countries successfully reducing road traffic deaths have done so by prioritizing safety when managing speed. Among the proven strategies to address speed include: Building or modifying roads to include features that calm traffic, establishing speed limits to the function of each road, enforcing speed limits, installing in-vehicle technologies and raising awareness about the dangers of speeding. The Fourth UN Global Road Safety Week hoped to increase understanding of the dangers of speed and generate action on measures to address speed, thereby saving lives on the roads.
