The UN Road Safety Fund continues to support low and middle-income countries to do that by providing road safety expertise to close gaps on road safety data, enforcement practices, vehicle safety, legislative frameworks, post-crash care, urban street design, among other topics. 

This UNRSF report shares highlights of how collective efforts are saving lives and driving systemic change in road safety. They include:

• Brazil’s creation of a national crash data system to inform risk-based infrastructure and enforcement planning;
• Nepal’s integration of road safety into national policy and first responder training along high-risk corridors;
• Senegal’s Ten-Step Plan to embed safety in infrastructure design and influence development bank investments;
• Colombia’s use of participatory urban design to improve pedestrian safety around schools and in vulnerable communities
• These milestones, made possible with support from the UN Road Safety Fund, mark important progress on the long journey to improve road safety.
