Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

The UN Global Road Safety Week, being held from 12 to 18 May 2025, marks the 8th edition of this global initiative. This year's campaign focuses on making walking and cycling safer, emphasizing the urgent need for improved infrastructure for non-motorized road users. With pedestrians and cyclists accounting for over 25% of global road traffic deaths, the initiative brings attention to the importance of designing urban spaces that prioritize safety and accessibility. Supported by the WHO and UN partners, this observance is part of broader efforts to reduce road injuries and promote sustainable, active modes of transport.
