Fourth UN Global Road Safety Week

The NRSP partnership with the UN Decade of Action on Road Safety and Traffic Injury Prevention (UNDARSTIP) to mark the 4th UN Global Road Safety Week.

The Fourth United Nations Global Road Safety Week, which was held from 8-14 May 2017, focused on speed management by the campaign: Save Lives - #SlowDown.

The #SlowDown campaign seeks to increase understanding of the dangers of speed and generate action on measures to address speed, thereby saving lives on the roads. It also calls for urgent action around speed management to reduce road traffic deaths and injuries by 50% by 2020; the target established in the Global Goals for Sustainable Development for the next 15 years (2030).
