“United Nations General Assembly Resolution 60/5 has designated April 23-29, 2007 as global road safety week. The resolution invites the United Nations member nations to organize and host public awareness activities to underscore the preventable nature of road traffic crashes and to educate the public on the impact that accidents have on global health. The theme is “Road Safety is No Accident” highlighting the fact that improving road safety does not occur by accident, but only happens through the deliberate and determined efforts of many sectors of society, both governmental and non-governmental. The theme of the week will focus on young road users, including young drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists who make up a high proportion of those suffering death, injury and disability on the roads….According to the World Health Organization, each year road crashes kill nearly 1.2 million people and injure or disable 20-50 million more across the world.”
