Get involved in Coalition activities for UN Global Road Safety Week

Join us in celebrating the 6th UN Global Road Safety Week (UNGRSW) with the theme Streets for Life: #Love30. The Week, to be held on 17-23 May 2021 calls for 30 km/h (20 mph) streets as a standard.

Low-speed streets save lives and are the heart of any community. 30 km/h (20 mph) speed limits where people and traffic mix make for streets that are safe, healthy, green, and liveable, in other words, streets for life.

Get involved in the Coalition's activities for the 6th UN Global Road Safety Week!
