Effective planning and implementation of a helmet initiative requires a comprehensive understanding of the risk factors involved in different settings, the nature of the problem, stakeholders, and what is already in place.

In Fortaleza, #Brazil, the speed limit was lowered from 60km/h to 50km/h on 16 arterial roads. Statistical analysis indicated that the lowering of the speed limits contributed to a substantial improvement in #SafeMobility.
Addressing speed is an integral part of the safe system approach to #RoadSafety. Join @grspartnership@WHO@FIAFdn @WBG_Transport et al on 21 February for a webinar launching updated speed management manual. Register: https://t.co/1k9gNSdsX2

When a crash occurs, an unrestrained car occupant continues to move at the same speed at which the vehicle was traveling before the collision.
An occupant’s chances of survival increase dramatically when restrained appropriately.

Country data reported on road crashes are crucial. I use them daily during my @UN missions around the world.
With its new global report on #roadsafety, @WHO has developed an application where, in 1 click, you can be informed about the status in your country/compare it with another one.
Get your country's data here :

#RethinkMobility
Humans are strange!
They have been walking since they exist. They like walking!
But they created roads that make it almost impossible to walk or cross safely.
As a result >270,000 pedestrians die every year.
Why do we tolerate that?
New @WHO report on #RoadSafety gives some cause for celebration – 5% ↓ in deaths (16% ↓ in death rates) since 2010, despite doubling of vehicle fleet & population increasing by 1 billion.
This should give us energy to redouble efforts. #RethinkMobility

"There is a clear link between road safety and sustainable development. By enhancing road safety, we do not just save lives; we pave the way for economic growth, reduce poverty, and uphold human rights. Road safety is not just about safe roads but about supporting resilient and thriving communities."
Thank you to the @UN Deputy Secretary-General @AminaJMohammed for your welcome words at the 7th @UN Partnerships Meeting for Road Safety!
Says @DrTedros on release of new @WHO report on #RoadSafety “The carnage on our roads is preventable. We call on all countries to put people rather than cars at the centre of their transport systems…”
