First UN Global Road Safety Week, 23-29 April 2007

23 April 2007

The week of 23 to 29 April 2007 has been declared the First United Nations Global Road Safety Week.

Speed kills all types of road users - drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. A 5% cut in average speed can reduce the number of fatal crashes by as much as 30%.

The first UN Global Road Safety week is targeted at young road users including young drivers who are over-represented in road accidents.

Be part of the solution: Don't Speed.
