Achieving the SDGs for Road Safety in G20 Countries
This Policy Brief was first published in https://t20ind.org
Road trauma is the largest killer of young people worldwide, and more than 100,000 people are killed or injured on the world’s roads each day. Significantly, road injury prevention has been included in the Sustainable Development Goals. The global mandate to improve road safety is especially critical for the G20 countries, which account for 59 percent of global road traffic fatalities and include some of the world’s best and worst performing countries. A lack of application of minimum safety standards for vehicles and roads contribute greatly to road trauma and many the G20 countries are still far from best practice. It is recommended that G20 countries implement minimum safety regulations for all new and used vehicles and new and existing roads and infrastructure according to the recommendations articulated in the United Nations Global Road Safety Performance Targets and the Global Plan for the Decade of Action forRoad Safety 2021-2030.
