This Programme has been prepared by the Consultative Committee on Road Safety, and it is designed to achieve an improvement in road safety in the period 2006 to 2010. Safety is a primary concern in all forms of transport. In road traffic, too, the guiding vision is that fatalities and serious injuries will be avoided altogether. The vision is made more specific by focusing on the target of reducing annual traffic fatalities to fewer than 100 by the year 2025: this would be one quarter of the present figure. Attaining this target will require carefully programmed development work and the active acceptance of shared responsibility in improving the transport system. Better cooperation is required between the organizations and other parties involved in these efforts. Road users themselves must also take their own share of the responsibility, both individually and collectively.
