No more declarations — we need real action on road safety ...Middle East

Last week the United Nations convened its High-Level Meeting of the General Assembly on Global Road Safety — which has been called the largest political gathering of its kind on road safety. And yet, road traffic injuries (RTIs) are now the eighth leading cause of death worldwide, amounting to 1.35 million deaths and 50 million injuries each year. While 90 percent of the fatalities on roads occur in low- and middle-income countries, nations like the United States are by no means immune. Once a leader in road safety, traffic-related deaths in the U.S. have recently reached a 16-year high. Between 2020 and 2021, traffic fatalities increased 11 percent overall — 13 percent for pedestrians
