EU-Funded Road Safety Exchange Project Wins Prestigious Prince Michael Road Safety Award

18 October 2023

The Road Safety Exchange, an initiative funded by the European Parliament and managed by the European Transport Safety Council on behalf of the European Commission, stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation. It brings together the expertise of national representatives from EU Member States, a partnership extended to span the next three years.

The project partners are delighted to announce that the Road Safety Exchange project has garnered one of the highest accolades in the field – a prestigious  Prince Michael International Road Safety Award, presented by His Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent in Sicily last month. This recognition underscores the project's impact on enhancing road safety, and the award ceremony, hosted by His Royal Highness, is scheduled for December in London.

The groundbreaking EU-funded Road Safety Exchange project, celebrated as a catalyst for life-saving initiatives across Europe, is poised for expansion, encompassing 19 countries in its mission to fast-track road safety improvements. Against the backdrop of the successes of the three-year pilot project, including the adoption of Dutch-inspired cycling infrastructure improvements in Lithuania, harmonised day and nighttime urban speed limits in Poland, and the announcement of robust national road safety strategies in Greece and Portugal, this transformative project embarks on its second phase with an inaugural event in Brussels.
