Each year, 1.25 million people die as a result of road traffic crashes and as many as 50 million people are injured. The World Health Organization has synthesized evidence-based measures that can significantly reduce road traffic fatalities and injuries. Save LIVES: a road safety technical package is an evidence-based inventory of priority interventions with a focus on Speed management, Leadership, Infrastructure design and improvement, Vehicle safety standards, Enforcement of traffic laws and post-crash Survival. The 6 strategies and 22 interventions recommended in the package are interrelated and should be implemented in an integrated manner to effectively address road traffic deaths and injuries. Prioritizing investment in these strategies will save lives. The road safety package can be accessed here: goo.gl/MjUztQ
