EU road safety policy
The EU road safety policy aims to reduce traffic-related injuries and deaths across member countries. It sets common safety standards, promotes the use of safer vehicles and road infrastructure, and encourages behaviors like responsible driving and obeying traffic laws. The policy also includes initiatives to improve data collection and analysis, so policymakers can make informed decisions. Overall, it's about creating a safer road environment for all users—drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists—by combining regulation, innovation, and awareness efforts throughout Europe.
