UN Decade of Action for <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Safety</strong><br />
As the leading traffic safety company, we also have<br />
an obligation to the common good. We are therefore<br />
supporting the UN Decade of Action for <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Safety</strong><br />
program which is organizing global campaigns from 2011<br />
to 2020. According to information from the WHO, targeted<br />
traffic safety projects can save up to five million lives and<br />
reduce the number of road traffic injuries by approximately<br />
50 million by 2020.<br />
n State interventions are necessary to monitor compliance<br />
with road traffic rules.<br />
n Products and services for speed and red light violation<br />
detection do an excellent job in this case.<br />
n The risk of punishment has a deterrent effect on<br />
irrational driving behavior.<br />
n The appeal for personal responsibility is initially important.<br />
The legislator is only called upon if self control fails.<br />
n A simple equation applies here: no traffic violation =<br />
no fine.<br />
n <strong>Traffic</strong> surveillance measures can contribute to saving<br />
5 million human lives and avoiding 50 million severe<br />
injuries by 2020.<br />
n Nobody has a right to drive too fast!<br />
Ranging from compulsory seatbelt wearing for drivers and<br />
passengers, compulsory helmets for cyclists, to prohibition<br />
of alcohol and drugs at the wheel, many successful safety<br />
strategies have been developed. Consequently, a relatively<br />
high level of driving discipline prevails.<br />
The aim is to reduce human, social and economic<br />
repercussions of the world’s greatest health problem.<br />
Good collaboration and acceptance by society are<br />
necessary in order to successfully initiate traffic safety<br />
measures.<br />
