The First United Nations Global Road Safety Week, April 23-29, 2007,
was
an historic opportunity to raise the issue of road traffic injuries to a
higher level.
During the Global Road Safety Week, hundreds of initiatives – local,
national, regional and global – took place around the world, organized
by governments, nongovernmental organizations, United Nations and other
international agencies, private sector companies, foundations and others
working for safer roads. The week was marked in countries around the
world and by
many communities. The events of the Week served as launching
points for new and effective road safety initiatives in the years ahead.
