Citing Road Traffic Crashes report, the FRSC said one in every four deaths occurs among pedestrians and cyclists.<\/p>\n

The CM added that the United Nations had developed a global plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030.<\/p>\n

The action plan has an ambitious target to reduce road traffic deaths and injuries, which would be by 50 percent 2030.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnsuring safety must be at the core of efforts to re-imagine mobility. Road networks must be designed with the most-at-risk in mind,\u201d Biu said.<\/p>\n

The 7th UN Safety Week focuses on sustainable transport with the slogan #RethinkMobility, which promotes walking, cycling and using public transport.<\/p>\n
