Leo ni Siku ya Kuwakumbuka Wahanda wa Ajali za Brabarani duniani. Umoja wa Mtaifa umeonesha vifo vya ajali za barabarani vimefikia milioni 1.35. Na kuonekana madhara ya ajali yanaua zaidi watu wa miaka 5 hadi 29.
Madhara hayo yameonekana zaidi kwa nchi zinazoendelea. Watu waliokuwa hatarini ni kufa kwa ajali za barabarani ni watembea kwa miguu, wabanda baiskeli na waendesha pikipiki, ambao ni 54% ya vifo vyote vinavyotokana na ajali za barabarani.

The report also indicates that progress to realize Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.6 – which calls for a 50% reduction in the number of road traffic deaths by 2020 – remains far from sufficient.
More than half of all road traffic deaths are among vulnerable road users: pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Pedestrians, cyclists, and riders of motorized 2- and 3-wheelers and their passengers are collectively known as "vulnerable road users" and account for half of all road traffic deaths around the world. A higher proportion of vulnerable road users die in low-income countries than in high-income countries.
The Day has become an important tool in global efforts to reduce road casualties. It offers an opportunity for drawing attention to the scale of emotional and economic devastation caused by road crashes and for giving recognition to the suffering of road crash victims and the work of support and rescue services.
A dedicated website was launched to make the Day more widely known and to link countries through sharing common objectives and the remembrance of people killed and injured in crashes.
The Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011–2020, officially proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in March 2010, seeks to save millions of lives by building road safety management capacity; improving the safety of road infrastructure; further developing the safety of vehicles; enhancing the behaviour of road users; and improving post-crash response.
Also, to highlight the plight of children on the world’s roads and generate action to better ensure their safety, the UN organizes the Global Road Safety Week.

Road traffic injuries - leading killer of people aged 5-29 years
The Global status report on road safety, launched by WHO in December 2018, highlights that the number of annual road traffic deaths has reached 1.35 million. Road traffic injuries are now the leading killer of people aged 5-29 years. The burden is disproportionately borne by pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, in particular those living in developing countries.The report also indicates that progress to realize Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.6 – which calls for a 50% reduction in the number of road traffic deaths by 2020 – remains far from sufficient.
More than half of all road traffic deaths are among vulnerable road users: pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists.
