United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety

The United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011-2020) was an international initiative aimed at reducing traffic-related injuries and deaths worldwide. Recognizing that road accidents cause millions of injuries and fatalities each year, the campaign encouraged governments, organizations, and communities to implement safer road policies, improve vehicle standards, enhance safety laws, and promote awareness. The goal was to save lives by making roads safer through coordinated efforts, policy changes, and public education, ultimately fostering a global culture of safety to protect all road users.
