Halving road deaths by 2020: A global health priority

摘要

The UN's very ambitious casualty reduction target poses a significant challenge to governments across the world to reinvigorate their road safety policies and adopt effective strategies for road injury prevention. An unrivalled source of guidance for exactly this is contained in the International Transport Forum's new publication "Zero Road Deaths and Serious Injuries: Leading a Paradigm Shift to a Safe System". This report, prepared by an ITF group comprising experts from countries witth the most successful performance in road injury reduction, challenges policymakers to envisage a world entirely free from road fatalities and serious injuries.
