Decade of Action for Road Safety

The Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011-2020) is a global initiative launched by the United Nations aimed at reducing road traffic injuries and fatalities. It encourages countries to implement effective road safety strategies, improve infrastructure, enhance law enforcement, and promote awareness campaigns. The goal is to create safer roads for everyone, including pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, thereby significantly decreasing the number of deaths and injuries caused by traffic accidents. The initiative emphasizes collaboration among governments, organizations, and communities to achieve measurable improvements in road safety worldwide.
