This booklet was produced by the World Health Organisation in anticipation of the First United Nations Global Road Safety Week in 2007, and was designed to provide event organisers with a guide to planning events during this very important week. The toolkit summarises the global road traffic injury problem, particularly in relation to the hundreds of millions of young people who travel the world’s roads every day, and outlines some of the solutions currently being pursued.


It also highlights the key messages for the week, provides ideas for national and local road safety events, and indicates the resources available to support their planning and implementation. Useful links and resources on road safety, the WHO, the United Nations, and various request and feedback forms are also included.
