In countries all around the world road safety is regarded as a major challenge.In driving reductions in the number of fatalities and injuries, a "Vision Zero" approach is implemented by a growing number of authorities on all levels as a guideline: no loss of life in road traffic is acceptable.Just briefly some facts the WHO estimates in the global status report the loss of lives about 1.3 million per year in 2010 an unacceptable high figure! Road safety was recognized in global environmental policy deliberations at the recent Roi+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development.A clear link was made between road safety and sustainable development.Encouraging sustainable transport policy must include making non-motorized forms of transport accessible and safe: this report shows that 27% of global traffic deaths are among pedestrians and cyclists.
