RoSPA 75th Road Safety Congress 2010
22 Feb - 24 Feb > Stratford-upon-Avon, UK

Aimed at road safety professionals, including road safety managers, the RoSPA 75th Road Safety Congress 2010 will look at the lessons we can learn from other countries to address the issue of road safety. The event takes place 22-24 February 2010 at the Holiday Inn Hotel, Stratford-upon-Avon.
The Government has proposed that Great Britain adopts a new long-term vision for road safety: 'Making Britain’s roads the safest in the world'. From 2010, Britain will be leaving the current road safety strategy and target period which began in 2000 and entering a new one, with fresh updated priority areas and new ambitious casualty reduction targets.
RoSPA’s Road Safety Congress in 2000 focused on the lessons the UK could learn from how other countries, and international organisations (such as the UN WHO and the EC) tackle death and injury on the road. Our Road Safety Congress 2010 will again explore what we can learn from how other countries address road safety. The programme will include examples of the following from other countries and international organisations:
• National, regional and global road safety strategies
• Case studies from individual countries of innovative road safety practice
• Examples of how some countries have made major road safety improvements in recent years at both national and local level
• Different approaches to those used in the UK
• The work and views of organisations, such as WHO, the UN etc.
