Abstract

The 10th of April, 2020 marked the end of United Nations’ Decade of Action for Road Safety. The target for this Decade was to reduce global road fatalities by 50% of the projected deaths of around 1.9 million –to below 900,000 deaths. However, by the year 2016 we saw the global road fatality toll rise to 1.35 million – and we still have around 1.35 million deaths per year.
