GLOBAL ROAD SAFETY WEEK: ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS

The 6th UN Global Road Safety Week, held 17-23 May 2021, highlights the benefits of low-speed urban streets (30 km/h) in cities worldwide as the heart of any community. The Week calls on policy-makers to act for low-speed streets, limiting speeds to where people live, work and play. Low-speed streets make for cities that are not only safe, but also healthy, green and liveable. The events organized within the framework of the UN Global Road Safety Week are held under the concept «Streets for life».

The 6th UN Global Road Safety Week is organized based on the principles and within the framework of the Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030.

It should be noted that Turkmenistan hosts massive environmental actions and events aimed at popularizing cycling on May 10-25.
