Make Roads Safe – Campaigning for a Decade of Action Presentation by David Ward Global Meeting of NGOs Advocating for Road Safety Thursday 7 th May, Brussels, Belgium

World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention (WHO/World Bank 2004) Warns that 1.2 million deaths and 50 million injuries occur annually on the road, mainly affecting vulnerable road users, and will more than double by Shows that low and middle income countries account for 90% of global deaths from road traffic crashes. Identifies key injury risk factors (non use of seat belts, helmets, excessive speed, drink driving, and poor road infrastructure); Calls for greater international effort to reverse trend of rising RTIs; Recommends national prevention strategies based on a ‘lead agency’ responsible for developing a multi-sectoral ‘safe systems’ approach.

In 2006 the Commission for Global Road Safety chaired by Lord Robertson, (former NATO Secretary General) published the Make Roads Safe report with three major proposals: A $300 million, 10 year Action Plan should be launched to promote national road safety capacity building in low and middle income countries; A minimum 10% of road infrastructure project Costs should be committed to road safety; A Ministerial Conference on global road safety should be held in 2009.

The United Nations and Road Safety Resolution 58/ th April 2004 Resolution 60/5 26 th October 2005 Resolution 62/ st March 2008 The UN General Assembly has adopted a series of resolutions that mandate action on global road safety by; Supporting the recommendations of the World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention; Creating the UN Road Safety Collaboration – coordinated by the WHO; Approving the first ever global Ministerial Conference on road safety to be held in Moscow November The General Assembly will debate road safety again during its 64 th Session in early 2010.

So why not a Decade of Action for Road Safety? Recommendations for the Moscow Ministerial Conference: Support an action plan of $300 million to invest in capacity building in road injury prevention and implement recommendations of the World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention. Invest in safer roads by committing at least 10% of project finance to safe road assessment and design. Support a Decade of Action for road safety with a global target to reduce road fatalities by 50% from their forecast level for which would save five million lives and avoid 50 million injuries.

The Goal for a Decade of Action...Saving 5 Million Lives

Proposed Decade Action Plan Five Pillars and Budget: 1.Building Management Capacity 2.Influencing Road Design 3.Influencing Vehicle Safety Design 4.Influencing Road User Behaviour 5.Improving Post Crash Care Global & Regional $30 million Assessment & Research $30 million Institutional Capacity $105 million Injury Prevention $90 million Post Crash $45 million Total$300 million Interim Targets for UN Member States: Creation of lead agency with clear responsibilities and funding Adoption of national road infrastructure rating systems and 10% rule Universal adherence to UN Traffic Conventions and main UN vehicle safety regulations (front/side impact, seat/child restraints, ESC etc) National programmes against excessive/inappropriate speed, drink driving and in support of 100% helmet and seat belt use Adherence to common data systems (30 day rule etc)
