Eliminating High Risk Roads

21 February 2025

Now its time to put our ideas into practice and work together so we can save lives and halve road deaths and injuries by 2030.

The Marrakech Declaration asks us all to accelerate and scale #roadsafety financing, action and reporting. iRAP is there to partner with governments, corporates and NGOs keen to eliminate high-risk roads for all road users.

The free iRAP tools are available for the world to use thanks to the major donor support of the FIA Foundation and other partner contributions globally that are provided for the mutual benefit of all.  The tools, training and support play a crucial role in improving road safety by providing a systematic way to assess and rate road infrastructure. iRAP’s methodology focuses on determining the risk of crashes for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and vehicle occupants and assigning star ratings (1 to 5 stars) to relevant road sections, with 1-star the least safe and 5-star the safest.  The crash risk typically halves with each incremental improvement in star rating.
