A single road death is one too many.
In 2024, 19,940 people lost their lives in road crashes in the EU, a 12% drop compared to 2019.
Progress is real but not enough.
To meet our goal of halving road deaths and serious injuries by 2030 and Vision Zero by 2050, we must accelerate our efforts.
We will focus on safer infrastructure, stronger enforcement, vehicle technologies, new mobility, and road safety research.
Safer roads are not optional. They are essential.
@EUCommission, I agree with the infrastructure and car safety improvements. We need that.
Sadly, #ireland is slashing the speed limits within cities from 50 to 30km/h, drastically killing productivity and heavily inflating prices for goods and services. The actual problem of low quality roads and, funny enough, very little education is not being addressed.
We need a common solution for Europe as a whole that actually addresses the issues and not on slogans or this week's "feelings".
@ppulfer
Yeah, because higher speed for cars is safer in cities! It would be better with no speed limits at all, anywhere.
