Infoclip: EU Road Safety Policy - towards "Vision Zero"

"EU Road Safety Policy Framework 2021-2030" - This infoclip illustrates police controls, alcohool and drugs tests, motordrivers, pedestrians and bikers. It also illustrates traffic on highways and 30km/h signs.The Committee on Transport and Tourism adopted an own-initiative report by Elena KOUNTOURA (GUE/NGL, EL) on the EU road safety policy framework 2021-2030 - Recommendations on the next steps towards ‘Vision Zero’.Every year around 22 700 people still lose their lives on EU roads and around 120 000 are seriously injured. More than 11 800 children and youngsters up to the age of 17 have been killed in road traffic collisions in the EU over the last 10 years. Progress in reducing EU fatality rates has stagnated in recent years. The EU's long-term vision should therefore be to come as close as possible to ‘zero deaths’ on the roads by 2050 (Vision Zero).
