The Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) countries committed to road safety at the 14th CAREC Ministerial Conference in Mongolia in September 2015. More recently, the ministers from all CAREC countries endorsed the CAREC Road Safety Strategy 2017–2030 during the 15th Ministerial Conference in Pakistan in October 2016. The strategy supports and encourages governments and road authorities to plan, design, construct, and maintain roads with road safety as a key and specific objective.

The strategy supports practices that improve road safety at road worksites to prevent collisions and minimize trauma to road workers and road users. Road authorities within the CAREC program are encouraged to include road safety as an integral part of the planning, design, and operation of all road worksites under the CAREC program.
