Road Safety - A Social Issue

So that we can all embrace road safety as an individual responsibility and social issue, a symbol was created to commemorate Road Safety Year.

The symbol is a ribbon depicting a road that unites all of the agencies and individuals who are committed to road safety. We can change things to improve safety on our roads: “We are all responsible for our conduct on the road”.

The SAAQ stepped up efforts to achieve the following objectives:

• generate public intolerance regarding the number of road accident victims.
• raise road user awareness about the physical, social and economic consequences of an accident.
• make road users accountable for their behaviour, i.e. motivate them to comply with the Highway Safety Code.

You can download the symbol free of charge.
