Road Sense: Jan-Feb 2025

Dear Readers, We began the year with a strong commitment to road safety, dedicating the past two months to significant initiatives. January marked National Road Safety Month, emphasizing the importance of safe practices on our roads. This was followed by the 4th Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety in Marrakech, Morocco, from 15–20 February 2025. At this pivotal conference, leaders from across countries made new national commitments to advance road safety, and the Marrakech Declaration for Global Road Safety was unanimously endorsed. This declaration calls on governments worldwide to prioritize road safety politically, ensure sustained funding, and implement strategic actions to reduce fatalities due to road crashes. These efforts are crucial as we reach the halfway point of the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021–2030, which aims to prevent at least 50% of road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030. Despite some progress, road crashes still claim an estimated 1.19 million lives annually, underscoring the urgency of our mission! Click here to access the entire newsletter.
