Every six seconds someone is killed or maimed on the world’s roads.
This death and suffering is preventable, and together we can help stop it.
The Gloucestershire Road Safety Partnership is supporting the UN’s Decade of Action for Road Safety which launches on 11th May 2011.
Within this section, you’ll find bite-sized information about staying safe on the roads - in 10 international languages; English, Hindi, Urdu, Turkish, Czech, Cantonese, Mandarin, Polish, Punjabi and Arabic.
You can also meet a variety of people from within and around Gloucestershire who strongly believe that this Decade of Action is important, and you can read their personal reasons for wanting action. “I want action because…”
There is also an official Decade of Action website where you can access downloadable materials to show your support; order the ‘tag’ which is the road safety equivalent of the red ribbon for HIV/AIDS or the white band against gloabl poverty. You can also see the famous faces backing the campaign; and be inspired by ideas for you/your family/your community/your school group etc., to get involved and make a difference.
