EL DESAFÍO

Cada día, 3500 personas fallecen en las carreteras. Los jóvenes son el grupo de edad más afectado, ya que los accidentes de tráfico son la primera causa de muerte entre los 15 y 29 años.

Es una tendencia muy preocupante, una lacra que hay que detener, ya que su coste humano, económico y social es inaceptable. La FIA, junto con sus 245 organizaciones asociadas de todo el mundo, está a la vanguardia de la lucha contra este problema.

Todos debemos cumplir nuestra función a la hora de conseguir que la carretera sea segura para todos. La campaña #3500LIVES explica las Reglas de Oro que ayudan a salvar su vida y la de los demás. Además, le animamos a unirse a la Declaración de la FIA por la Seguridad Vial Mundial, que insta a todos los gobiernos a dar prioridad a la seguridad vial y a introducir una legislación eficaz para evitar los principales factores de riesgo en la carretera.

10 Reglas de Oro

  1. AMBITIOUS TARGETS
  2. BETTER INFRASTRUCTURE
  3. SAFER VEHICLES
  4. MORE EFFECTIVE LAWS
  5. STOP SPEEDING
  6. TACKLE DRINK‑DRIVING
  7. IMPROVED DATA COLLECTION
  8. GLOBAL FUND FOR SAFER ROADS
  9. PRIVATE SECTOR SUPPORT
  10. INCREASE COORDINATED ACTION

Make road safety a priority

Sign the manifesto
The UN Sustainable Development Goals set the target to halve global road related fatalities by 2020, and to ensure safe and sustainable mobility in cities by 2030.

Spread the word

Follow and help spread the word about road safety
The FIA manifesto for global road safety calls for:
  • Better infrastructure
  • Safer vehicles
  • More effective laws
  • A UN road safety fund
  1. Ambitious targets

    Support UN SDG Target 3.6 to halve road fatalities and injuries by 2020.

  2. Better infrastructure

    50% of casualties occur on around 10% of the road network.

  3. Safer vehicles

    All new cars should meet agreed minimum UN vehicle safety standards.

  4. More effective laws

    Only 7% of the world’s population are covered by adequate legislation on speed, drink-driving, helmet use, seat belt and child restraint use.

  5. Stop speeding

    Speed is the single most significant contributor to road collisions leading to death and injury.

  6. Tackle drink driving

    We call for the introduction and enforcement of effective legislation on drink-driving. The alcohol industry should promote drink-driving legislation, independent research, and public awareness on the impact of alcohol use on road safety.

  7. Improved data collection

    Effective action can only be taken if it is targeted and measured with accurate data

  8. Global fund for safer roads

    A UN Road Safety Fund should be established to attract new donor aid for road safety.

  9. Private sector support

    We call for stronger recognition of road safety as a key development and public health challenge.

  10. Increase coordinated action

    Regular engagement at all political levels should be a priority.
