Road traffic crashes take the lives of 1.2 million people each year.
Lives like Kenyan marathon runner Kelvin Kiptum, who should be at this year’s Paris Olympics, but tragically died in a car crash alongside his coach.
Around the world, demands are rising for governments to tackle dangerous roads - the leading killer of young people - and deliver streets for life.
The solutions to transform our streets are proven, cost-effective, and universal. Safe roads are equitable, encourage walking, cycling (and running), protect from air pollution, and help to combat the climate crisis.
Streets for Health. Streets For Climate. Streets For All.
Streets for Life.
700 children die every day on the world’s roads and it is the poorest families who suffer the most.
In four steps we can transform our streets, reduce injuries, tackle car dependency, combat climate change, challenge poverty, racism and social exclusion.
Olympic legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce joins schoolchildren to talk about safe journeys to school and tackling the leading killer of children and young people: dangerous roads.
