Road crashes are a human tragedy but also a serious development issue, with 92% of fatalities concentrated in low-and middle-income countries. Discover how we’re working to take on this challenge and save lives: wrld.bg/r9hF50R3s2i #MakeRoadsSafe

Excessive (above the posted speed limit) and inappropriate (within the speed limit but not appropriate for the conditions) speeds are dangerous and are major causes of traffic crashes resulting in death and serious injury.

Slow down!

#RoadSafety

Transport, a major source of greenhouse gases, plays a key role in economic and social development.

On 14-17 May, #ADBTransportForum  will discuss how the sector can #decarbonize with real-world & sustainable solutions for climate resilience.

💡iRAP's CEO Rob McInerney Rob McInerney will be moderating an interactive panel discussion highlighting models of domestic financing for #RoadSafety this Thursday as part of the UNRSF – UN Road Safety Fund Virtual Open Day ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Our latest global programme metrics demonstrate the incredible power of iRAP partnerships for safer roads – impact in 178 countries, 3.6 million km of road safety assessments, 69,000 people trained & USD$101 billion of infrastructure investment made safer. irap.org/2024/01/latest…

In Asia and the Pacific, more than 2,000 people lose their lives in road crashes every day and many more sustain serious life-changing injuries.

Managing travel speeds will save lives and avoid economically costly, often debilitating, injuries.

#Enforcement can be effective if drivers believe that they will be caught for #speeding and believe that they cannot avoid the penalty. Read more at blogs.adb.org/blog/speeding-… via Asian Development Bank
