Around 1.35 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. Whilst in the year 2020, approx 1.8 million people die by CoVID-19 globally. Therefore 1.35 million is comparable with 1.8 million, and this is one important area globally; that should be focused on improving and reducing the awful numbers. The global road safety week is celebrated between 17 - 23 May 2021. More than a celebration; departments, and road managing organizations need awareness and a framework based on international best practices on road traffic safety management. ISO 39001:2012 specifies requirements for a road traffic safety (RTS) management system to enable an organization that interacts with the road traffic system to reduce death and serious injuries related to road traffic crashes which it can influence.

The World Day of Remembrance for Road -Traffic Victims (WDoR), created by the European Federation of Road Traffic Victims, is an official United Nations day commemorated on the third Sunday of November each year to remember the millions of lives lost or hurt by traffic crashes. It is a day of solidarity for families, friends, and loved ones who have been affected by a traffic crash, and is an opportunity to advocate for safer roads and road victims’ rights around the world. It is also a day to thank traffic-crash emergency services and first responders, while reflecting on the tremendous burden that crashes and resultant injuries and fatalities make on economies, health care systems, and most importantly people, around the world.
