SAVE THE DATE - Vision Zero Conference 2023 Welcome to Sweden 26-27 June 2023. Taking road safety to the next level Safety is a part of the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. In February 2020, Sweden hosted the third Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety. Shortly after, the pandemic struck and the world closed down. Despite the pandemic, progress has been made on the global road safety policy scene and we are now heading into the second decade of action.
Our National Relays learned about three inspiring #European initiatives for #RoadSafety with @voitechnology @TeamAlert and @mjam Do you have a favourite? http://ow.ly/ACFB50NvFME #SaferCities #SaferRoads

The National Relays of the European Road Safety Charter came together in February to follow an online workshop on education and training. Three interesting European projects showed how we can make the behaviour of different types of road users more safe in an innovative and fun way. Take a look at the projects below and become inspired! Do you have any questions concerning these projects? Do not hesitate to contact them!
"Removing automobile lanes to put in bike lanes is, in my opinion, the height of stupidity, it means more cars backing up, creating more emissions." —Mitt Romney once again being ignorant (and against better cities)
I get that he just doesn't know but, of course, he doesn't care to know.
