Global Road Safety Week

The first United Nations Global Road Safety Week will take place from April 23-29, 2007 and the focus will be on young road users, including young drivers, who are at high risk of injury and death. Globally, 1.2 million people are killed annually on the roads and another 50 million are injured. During Global Road Safety Week, youth delegates from over 120 countries, including Canada, will meet in Geneva for a World Youth Assembly on Road Safety where young people will discuss a declaration regarding the improvement of road safety among youth.
