Traffic is the basic part of life for many of us, especially those who live in crowded cities. We step into a traffic system that takes us from our homes to work, school, hospital or loved ones almost every day. When this is the case, it is an unpleasant fact that 1.3 million people die every year in traffic accidents and 50 million people are injured. Almost 93% of accidents occur in low- and middle-income countries, where there are fewer resources and technical solutions for road safety. Accidents became a serious public health problem: “The problem of traffic accidents did not decrease as we expected over the years,” said Claes Tingvall, chairman of the target development expert team at the conference on World Road Safety UN Targets at Chalmers University. it appears as an important point. ” Underlining that the overall goal is to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries caused by traffic accidents by 50% over the next ten years, and calls to reach this goal by 2030, Claes Tingvall continued: “The science is constantly the solution of social problems. We must always adhere to him and act accordingly. ” Let’s add that the world’s leading road safety experts will meet with experts and ministers in Stockholm for the third global conference on road safety at the UN on 19 and 20 February 2020. Regarding this, the comments that the expert group’s view will be an indicator of global cooperation for safer traffic have already started to be made. The group of academic experts led by Claes Tingvall is made up of 13 experts from around the world and is known to be tasked with developing complementary methods, processes and tools for the new 10-year global traffic safety. The agenda of the meeting has been announced as sustainable development and global goals for 2030. This important meeting, which concerns everyone, also attracts the attention of the press. We look forward to what conclusions will come from the meeting in the coming days.
