Romania has historically faced one of the lowest rates of child restraint system use in the European Union. In 2019, European data indicated that only around one quarter of child passengers were transported using appropriate child restraint systems. This reflected a broader road safety challenge: high child injury and fatality risks linked to improper restraint, misuse of car seats, and limited parental awareness.
The main challenges addressed by our initiative include:
• low usage rates of child restraint systems
• incorrect installation and misuse of car seats
• lack of parental awareness regarding age-appropriate restraint systems
• widespread misconceptions influenced by marketing, informal advice, and outdated practices
• limited access to evidence-based guidance and professional counselling
• insufficient integration of child passenger safety education into healthcare and community services
• socio-economic disparities affecting access to safety information and equipment
Additionally, parents often receive conflicting information and lack practical, hands-on guidance on proper installation and safe transportation practices.
These challenges contribute to preventable injuries and fatalities among child passengers and hinder progress toward EU road safety targets.
Our initiative addresses these systemic barriers through education, professional training, community outreach, and evidence-based awareness programs designed to improve correct usage and long-term behavioral change.

The initiative addresses the disproportionately high risk of road accidents among young and novice drivers (18–24 years old), a vulnerable category in road traffic safety.
The main challenges identified include:
1. Distracted Driving
The widespread use of mobile phones while driving (texting, browsing, social media use) significantly increases crash risk. Young drivers are particularly exposed to digital distractions, which impair reaction time, attention, and hazard perception.
2. Peer Influence and Risk-Taking Behaviour
The presence of same-age passengers has been shown to increase the likelihood of risky driving behaviours, including speeding, aggressive manoeuvres, and reduced compliance with traffic rules.
3. Night-Time Driving Risks
Young drivers are overrepresented in night-time collisions due to reduced visibility, fatigue, and increased likelihood of high-risk behaviour during late hours.
4. Limited Experience and Hazard Perception Skills
Novice drivers lack practical experience in managing complex traffic situations, increasing their vulnerability in high-risk environments.
5. Insufficient Parental Engagement After Licensing
While parents play a key role during the learning phase, structured guidance and clearly defined roles for continued supervision during the first independent driving years are often lacking.
6. Gap Between Awareness and Behavioural Change
Although young drivers are generally aware of traffic rules, this awareness does not always translate into safe behaviour. There is a need for evidence-based tools that transform knowledge into practical, risk-reducing actions.

Night-time road safety represents one of the most critical challenges in Italy, particularly for young adults aged 18–35. National and local statistics show that the most severe road accidents occur during night-time hours and weekends, when alcohol consumption, fatigue and reduced visibility significantly increase risk. In urban areas such as Rome, these risks are amplified by the lack of frequent night public transport, especially after large events and festivals.
Young people returning from concerts, nightlife venues or university events often rely on private cars, increasing exposure to driving under the influence, distraction and speeding. Road crashes remain the leading cause of death among young people in Europe, and Italy continues to record a road mortality rate above the EU average.
Events and festivals represent peak-risk scenarios: thousands of people leave the same venue ensuring congestion, late-night driving and impaired decision-making. Despite this, traditional road safety policies rarely address mobility during events in a structured way.
CBH addresses this gap by focusing specifically on organised night-time transport during high-risk hours (typically between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM), providing a safe, collective alternative to private car use. The initiative directly tackles behavioural risk factors by removing the need to drive after social events, targeting the exact context and time window where the probability of severe accidents is highest.

The campaign promotes helmet wearing, among others, when riding a bicycle, scooter, e-scooter, skateboard. It responds to micromobility users , e-scooters and cyclists safety. Every year in Poland many crashes occur in which children suffer serious head and brain injuries – and most of these could be avoided if wearing a properly fitted helmet.

Over the past ten years, we have collaborated with local governments to install 206 smart traffic systems across Slovenia, including speed displays, COPS@road systems, and safety distance monitors. Each installation involves selecting critical points, implementing the system, and monitoring traffic data before and after to evaluate effectiveness. In 2025, we’re focusing on cyclist safety, adding 16 new systems that also warn about cyclists.
