Sunday 15 November marks the 25th World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, a day to remember those killed or injured on the roads. The day also marks the European Commission’s presentation of the final road safety figures for 2019, which show a decrease by 3% of road fatalities in the EU compared to the previous year. While this trend is encouraging, 22 700 people still lost their lives on EU roads in 2019, and about five times more were seriously injured. This is why the Commission is taking major steps and working closely with Member States and stakeholders to reach its goal of ‘Vision Zero’, zero fatalities and serious injuries by 2050, in line with the EU Road Safety Policy Framework 2021-2030.
