The United Nations has called on governments across the world to support the campaign for a “Decade of Action for Road Safety” which targets a 50% reduction in road deaths globally by 2020.
Currently 1.3 million people are killed on the world’s roads each year, a toll set to increase to 2.4 million by 2030 according to a World Health Organization study. The Make Roads Safe campaign is calling for the international community to commit to a ten year action plan with tough regional targets for inquiry reduction to prevent these terrible forecasts from being realized.
