Le défi
Chaque jour, 3 500 personnes sont tuées sur les routes. Les jeunes sont particulièrement concernés puisque les accidents de la route représentent la première cause de mortalité chez les 15-29 ans.
Il s’agit d’une tendance alarmante et d’un fléau qui doit être éradiqué, avec un coût humain, économique et social qui est devenu inacceptable. La FIA se retrouve en première ligne sur ce sujet, aux côtés de ses 245 organisations membres dans le monde entier.
Nous avons tous un rôle à jouer pour rendre les routes plus sûres. La campagne #3500LIVES prévoit des règles d’or qui peuvent aider à sauver votre vie ainsi que d’autres vies. Nous vous invitons également à signer le manifeste de la FIA en matière de sécurité routière au niveau mondial, qui appelle tous les gouvernements à faire de la sécurité routière une priorité en créant une législation efficace contre les principaux facteurs de risque sur les routes.

The FIA manifesto for global road safety calls for:
- Better infrastructure
- Safer vehicles
- More effective laws
- A UN road safety fund
-
Ambitious targets
Support UN SDG Target 3.6 to halve road fatalities and injuries by 2020.
-
Better infrastructure
50% of casualties occur on around 10% of the road network.
-
Safer vehicles
All new cars should meet agreed minimum UN vehicle safety standards.
-
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.
-
Stop speeding
Speed is the single most significant contributor to road collisions leading to death and injury.
-
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.
-
Improved data collection
Effective action can only be taken if it is targeted and measured with accurate data
-
Global fund for safer roads
A UN Road Safety Fund should be established to attract new donor aid for road safety.
-
Private sector support
We call for stronger recognition of road safety as a key development and public health challenge.
-
Increase coordinated action
Regular engagement at all political levels should be a priority.
