FURTHER STEPS Target set by the EU transport ministers: to halve the number of serious injuries on roads in EU by 2030 (from 2020) Vision ZERO in Lithuania 2018-2030
PRIORITIES OF VISION ZERO 2018-2030: Safer behaviour of traffic participants Safer roads and streets More effective after-accident life saving and accident investigation Safer vehicles Safer other transport modes
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? Objectives Goals Measures Promote road safety culture Revise and adopt legal base More effective enforcement of traffic rules Enhance cooperation among Member States, including relevant authorities, municipalities and civil society, research institutes and private sector Legislation must be adopted to implement new traffic safety measures. Bureaucracy should be reduced to make more efficient enforcement Develop average speed control system; Improve speed cameras system; Develop multifunctional enforcement system.
