Take ActionMake Roads Safe is the campaign for global road safety. Every six seconds someone is killed or maimed on the world’s roads.More than a million people signed our petition to the UN which was handed to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on 31st March 2008, the day the UN approved the first Ministerial Conference on global road safety. We still need your help more than ever to ensure that when governments and aid organisations meet in Russia next year they don’t just talk about road deaths, but commit to action to prevent them.
