Tackling speeding: Practical solutions for safer roads

Speeding is one of the leading causes of fatal crashes in Europe, contributing to around 30% of road deaths. Higher speeds increase both crash risk and crash severity, especially for vulnerable road users.

Improving speed management requires more than setting limits. It depends on safe road design, appropriate speed policies, effective enforcement, vehicle technology and education that supports behaviour change.

This European Road Safety Charter webinar will highlight practical initiatives tackling speeding from different angles. Experts and civil society representatives will share approaches that are delivering safer speeds and safer roads.

• Road safety professionals and policymakers
• Local authorities, police and enforcement teams
• NGOs, community groups and educators

• How to reduce speeding in cities (Kateřina Kührová, Eurocities)
• How to develop effective awareness campaigns (Jill Peters and Merel Peters, andc)

What you will leave with
