Road crashes cause enormous human suffering for millions of people. They also have a huge economic impact, for instance, due to lost income, damaged property and their burden on the health sector. Road crashes cost the global economy up to 6% of GDP. This session will highlight effective strategies to make roads safe for people and analyse the associated economic and societal benefits. It will examine the potential of addressing road safety holistically with shared responsibility among all stakeholders, as envisaged in the Safe System approach.
- How can governments incentivise actions that make traffic safer?
- How can private capital be effectively mobilised for road safety?
- How can micromobility be included in decisions on road safety investments?
