Thanks For Joining Safe Roads | Safe Kids

Thanks for signing up for updates on global road safety.

Every day, more than 500 children are killed in a road traffic collision, and tens of thousands are injured, often suffering lifelong disabilities.  Unless we take action now, the global toll of traffic injuries will explode, placing millions of children at risk. 

By 2015, road traffic injuries will be the leading health burden for children over the age of 5 years in developing countries. Safe Kids Worldwide is initiating the Safe Roads | Safe Kids campaign to reduce preventable deaths and lifelong injuries resulting from traffic collisions involving children.

Your participation can help make the world’s roads safer for children today and future generations.

You can also read and sign the Child Declaration for Road Safety, which calls upon policymakers everywhere to take action against road deaths and injuries. This declaration is part of the official campaign for the Third UN Global Road Safety Week (May 4-10, 2015), which encourages worldwide action to better ensure the safety of children on the roads. Safe Kids Worldwide is a strong supporter of this declaration and urges you to read and sign it.
