19 February 2021

The second UN Decade of Action for Road Safety launched this year with an aim to reduce road deaths by 50% globally by 2030. With the prospect of automated vehicles, a growing emphasis on reducing emissions and a be better understanding of highway design, will the next 10 years see a step change in reducing road deaths?

Action from governments, road designers and vehicle manufacturers and more information for consumers can contribute, but what’s the pathway to success and how will it emerge across continents?
