UN Fourth Global Road Safety Week 2017

The UN Road Safety Collaboration is organising the global campaign for the Fourth UN Global Road Safety Week, 8-14 May 2017. The Week will focus on speed and what can be done to address this key risk factor for road traffic deaths and injuries. Speed contributes to around one-third of all fatal road traffic crashes in high-income countries, and up to half in low- and middle-income countries. The Global Road Safety Week seeks to increase understanding of the dangers of speed and generate action on measures to address speed, thereby saving lives on the roads.    Several events are also organised in Greece: NTUA – The Future of Road Safety Research Workshop, Athens IOAS – Road Safety Educational & Awareness Activities, Athens EFTHITA – Several Road Safety Events, Rhodes SOSTE – Slow Down, Several Greek Cities Making streets liveable, Road Safety Information Activities, Megara ΠΗΓΗ: Ε.Μ.Π
