The UN General Assembly has adopted a new resolution on global road safety, recalling that the Sustainable Development Goals are integrated and indivisible, and acknowledging the importance of reaching the road safety-related targets of the 2030 Agenda.

The Ten Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure will build the institutional capacity and regulatory framework to support these targets and unlock the potential of safer roads and safer cities to save lives.

This report examines the safety aspects associated with the increasing use of e-scooters and other forms of micromobility in cities.

This Guide for Road Safety Opportunities and Challenges is the first data report to cover all 125 LMICs with comprehensive road safety country profiles.

Unlocking the potential of the world’s largest road infrastructure safety database to explore the human and financial impact of road injury, how safe the world’s roads are and provide the Business Case for Safer Roads.

This document acts as a guide to assist countries to monitor and report on the 12 Voluntary Global Road Safety Performance Targets, on which a consensus had been reached during a meeting of WHO Member States held in November 2017 in Geneva, Switzerland.

The findings from the study indicate that many ESCAP member countries could make progress in reducing drink-driving related deaths, but more work needs to be carried out to make a significant impact.

For this report, a study was conducted to examine speed management in ESCAP member States in order to identify ways in which they can improve speed management. The study revealed that travel speeds on roads in those States are not controlled effectively through survivable speed limits, speeding enforcement, engineering interventions or vehicle safety measures.

This report summarizes the analyses of the road safety data from the ESCAP member countries fall under the road safety management pillar of the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011- 2020). This study considered analyzed data involving different pillars and areas of the The United Nations Global Framewor Plan of Action 2018. The pillars and areas under the framewor are shown in Figure 5 of the Appendix 2 of this report.

The current issue of the Bulletin focuses on the theme of “Improving Road Safety”. Each of the six papers contribute different interesting aspects of the theme, and include various approaches in improving road safety in a particular context.
