Latest NewsRoad Safety Regulations Act Passed in UruguayFebruary 15, 2013
On December 26, the Road Safety General Regulations Act was passed in Uruguay, making child restraint systems (CRS) mandatory in all private vehicles transporting children and adolescents. The passage of this Act represents a crucial step in the prevention of child injuries and deaths in Uruguay, and for Safe Kids Uruguay/ Fundación Gonzalo Rodríguez (FGR), which has been working on the promotion of this Act since 2007. This Act, together with the School Transport Acts that have already been passed, will contribute to safer travel for the most vulnerable road users. The FGR has lead the way, together with the Uruguayan Society of Pediatrics, in the promotion of the use of officially authorized CRS that comply with internationally recognized technical standards. In the past five years, FGR has worked tirelessly to promote cultural and behavioral change through Public Service Campaigns, collaboration with private and public agencies, research, training and distribution of safety information.
