Thanks to @FIA Central European Sporting Zone for awarding me a prize for my commitment to #RoadSafety. I take it as recognition of the engagement and work of all stakeholders and my incredibly engaged team! Safety in #transport has been a top political priority in my mandate.

Honored to be voted cochair of the Global Road Safety Legislators. Hope the efforts will translate to save children, adolescents and young adults aged 5–29 years from road traffic injury as there leading cause of death. #4RoadSafety

[Lauchlan McIntosh @LMroadsafety]

Thanks Etienne Some very good examples of new leadership in legislation shared from several countries at the meeting already. A great concept to bring about the stimulus and scale needed to reduce road trauma.

Participo do encontro anual do Conselho de Liderança da Rede Global de Legisladores para a Segurança Viária, na sede da Organização Mundial de Saúde, em Genebra, para discutir estratégias e prioridades para a redução do número de mortes e lesões no trânsito. #50by30 #4roadsafety

[Hugo Leal @depHugoLeal]

A base das discussões é o Relatório Global sobre Segurança Viária,mostrando que houve muitos avanços mas também que ficaremos muito longe de alcançar a meta estabelecida pela Década de Ação pela Segurança Viária da ONU 2011/2020 de reduzir pela metade o nº de mortes no trânsito.

[Hugo Leal @depHugoLeal]

No segundo e último dia do encontro, em Genebra, fui eleito para ser coordenador para as Américas da Rede Global de Legisladores para a Segurança Viária. #50by30 #4roadsafety

[WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities @WRIRossCities]

While #autonomous vehicles will contribute to making cities #healthier & #safer, this might not happen for decades. For now, #cities must focus on #roadsafety & designing our streets right. More in our interview with @DavidDjward: https://t.co/wi5rgeoqPU #SafeSystem

[Etienne Krug @etiennekrug]

Delighted to welcome the Leadership Council of the Global Network of Road Safety Legislators to. @WHO this afternoon. Legislators have a key role in improving the laws. Only 5 countries have optimal road safety legislation. 179 don’t have it yet!

New! Global Status Report on Road Safety 2018 highlights that the number of annual road traffic deaths has reached 1.35 million. The price paid for mobility is too high! Drastic action is needed to #SaveLives! https://t.co/Flx16HsLfe #RoadSafety

[Cllr. David Ward @DavidDjward]

Very useful App for @WHO Global Status Report #roadsafety 2018. See: WHO GRSInfo 2018. Compares country data & legislation including key vehicle safety regulations. One interesting comparison: India now applies pedestrian protection & ABS in motorcycles but USA doesn’t!
