PIARC has an active role in the efforts to improve road safety worldwide through evidence-based studies, technical reports and other type knowledge products. PIARC Technical Committee 3.1 “Road Safety” recognises that 90% of traffic deaths occur in Low- and Middle-Income Countries, and uses this information to assess, identify and share best practices of road safety activities for LMICs through the development of documents and cases studies highlighting international practices and lessons learned. This Technical Committee is focused on making proven countermeasures that are effective in reducing the likelihood and severity of crashes, available to LMICs for consideration in safety project development.

Take part in two international discussions about the most important and challenging road safety areas. The two webinars will enable you to learn about safe infrastructure implementation, road tunnels design and safe operation, speed management, road safety data collection and analysis, management, human behaviour, Vulnerable Road Users, as well as and vehicles. Additionally, these webinars will provide you with solutions and recommendations to build road safety expertise in your country, in order to adopt the Safe System Approach and reduce fatal and serious crashes on your country’s road network.
