The UN Road Safety Collaboration organised with great success the global campaign for the Fifth UN Global Road Safety Week, on 6-12 May 2019, under the theme “Leadership for road safety“. The goal of the global road safety week, was to generate a demand from the public and the civil society to generate demands for strong leadership for road safety, especially around concrete, evidence-based interventions which will save lives and to inspire leaders to take action by showcasing examples of strong leadership for road safety within governments, international agencies, NGOs, foundations, schools and universities, and private companies.
