WHO: Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020
The UN Road Safety Collaboration has developed a Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 with input from many partners through an extensive consultation process through meetings and the Internet. The Plan provides an overall framework for activities which may take place in the context of the Decade. The categories or "pillars" of activities are: building road safety management capacity; improving the safety of road infrastructure and broader transport networks; further developing the safety of vehicles; enhancing the behaviour of road users; and improving post-crash care. Indicators have been developed to measure progress in each of these areas. Governments, international agencies, civil society organizations, the private sector and other stakeholders are invited to make use of the Plan as a guiding document for the events and activities they will support as part of the Decade.

UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) is one of the five United Nations regional commissions, administered by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It was established in 1947 with the mandate to help rebuild post-war Europe, develop economic activity and strengthen economic relations among European countries, and between Europe and the rest of the world. During the Cold War, UNECE served as a unique forum for economic dialogue and cooperation between East and West. Despite the complexity of this period, significant achievements were made, with consensus reached on numerous harmonization and standardization agreements. In the post-Cold War era, UNECE acquired not only many new member States, but also new functions. Since the early 1990s the organization has focused on analyses of the transition process, using its harmonization experience to facilitate the integration of Central and Eastern European countries into the global markets. UNECE is the forum where the countries of western, central and eastern Europe, central Asia and North America – 56 countries in all – come together to forge the tools of their economic cooperation. That cooperation concerns economics, statistics, the environment, transport, trade, sustainable energy, timber and habitat. The Commission offers a regional framework for the elaboration and harmonization of conventions, norms and standards. The Commission’s experts provide technical assistance to the countries of south-east Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. This assistance takes the form of advisory services, training seminars and workshops where countries can share their experiences and best practices.

Κανάλι Ε και οδική ασφάλεια: Δεν είναι αυτό που νομίζεις…
Όπως έχουμε αναφέρει σε αλεπάληλες αναρτήσεις μας, το κανάλι Ε αποτελεί απο το 2013 τον πολιορκητικό κλοιό μεσω του οποίου η ΠΑΡΑΝΟΜΗ ΥΠΑΙΘΡΙΑ ΔΙΑΦΗΜΙΣΗ προσπαθεί να ξανακερδίσει το χαμένο έδαφος (και χρήμα). Σε μια σειρά Δήμους της Αττικής στήνονται κατα καιρούς πινακίδες οι οποιες με παρεμβασεις πολιτων και στη συνέχεια των Δήμων ξηλώνονται.
Εκει βέβαια που απολαμβάνουν πλήρους ασυλίας είναι ο Δήμος Αθηναίων. καθένας μπορεί επι χρόνια να θαυμάσει το έργο τους πάνω απο την γεφυρα της λεωφόρου Αθηνών, στην οδο Αχιλλέως. Στις αρχές Οκτώβρη 2015 μετα απο παρέμβαση διαφόρων φορέων, αναμεσα τους και ο SOS Τροχαία Εγκλήματα προχώρησε σε μηνύσεις εναντίον του και κάλεσε την Περιφέρεια να επιβάλει τα σχετικά πρόστιμα και τον Δήμο Αθηναίων να ξηλώσει τις πινακίδες.
Στις 19 Οκτωβρίου σε συνάντηση μας με τον αρμόδιο αντιδήμαρχο κο Καφετζόπουλο αυτος αναγνώρισε οτι οι πινακίδες είναι παράνομες και υποσχέθηκε ότι ο Δημος θα τις κατεβασει «τωρα που έχει το μηχανισμο» χωρις να δεσμευτεί χρονικά για το πότε… Αναλυτικά: ΕΔΩ
Στις 28 Οκτώβρη την ωρα που άλλοι έκαναν και άλλοι παρακολουθούσαν τις παρελάσεις στο συγκεκριμμενο κτιριο ανανεώθηκαν οι πινακίδες μ αυτες τις φωτογραφίας
Σήμερα 19 Νοεμβρίου το κανάλι Ε κάνει εκπομπή για την οδική ασφάλεια!!!! Δεν ξέρουμε αν θα μιλήσουν η Αννίτα, η Ναταλία και οι άλλοι/άλλες διαφημιζόμενες/οι.
Ξέρουμε μόνο πως η διαφήμιση έχει θύματα και πως η υποκρισία δεν έχει όρια.

ERF Position Paper - Traffic Signs in European Roads 2015
The European Road Federation (ERF) launched recently its Position Paper towards improving Traffic Signs in European Roads: "Improved Signage for better Roads". This Position Paper advocates for authorities to avoid or tackle the over-proliferation of traffic signs and to ensure that those installed display a clear message, in order toachieve better road safety and traffic flow, and good use of public resources. Road authorities need to set a multiannual maintenance action plan. The need to adapt to the needs of an ageing driver population, by introducing a minimum maintenance standards for safety critical signs under the Vienna Convention is highlighted. This position paper calls for all stakeholders involved to examine the benefits of greater harmonisation of signs within the Vienna Convention to maximise the safety benefits of new vehicle technologies as well as to provide for a more familiar environment for increasing cross-border traffic volumes.

FIA Save Kids Lives - A film by Luc Besson 2015
A film to raise awareness of the road safety crisis, directed by Luc Besson is now a part of the #SAVEKIDSLIVES campaign on road safety of the FIA and FIA Foundation, the international motoring federation. According to World Health Organisation figures, 500 children are killed each day in road crashes globally. In a bid to raise awareness of this road safety crisis, Jean Todt, President of the FIA, and Special Envoy of the UN Secretary General for Road Safety, turned to world renowned film director Luc Besson to deliver a potent visual message highlighting the road dangers facing children around the world.
The film is a shocking wake-up call and was shot on location in South Africa and Paris demonstrating the dangers faced every day by children on their journey to school, whether caused by the lack of safe infrastructure in the townships of South Africa or by the heavy traffic of a major European city.
