UN #LOVE30 CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED

The 6th United Nations (UN) Global Road Safety Week is calling on all policymakers to implement low-speed streets across cities, towns and villages worldwide. According to the UN, low-speed streets save lives and are the heart of any community.

30 km/h speed limits where people and traffic mix make for streets that are safe, healthy, green and liveable. Liveable streets are a central theme in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

30 km/h streets protect all who use them, but especially the most vulnerable, like pedestrians, cyclists, children and older people and people with disabilities. 30 km/h streets where people and traffic mix help prevent road traffic deaths and promote physical activity, because when streets are safe, people walk and cycle more.

30 km/h streets are also vital in efforts to shift to zero-carbon mobility.

Streets that promote safe walking and cycling can reduce car dependency and harmful vehicle emissions that contribute to climate change. To protect the environment, people need safe, low-speed streets that encourage sustainable transport choices.
