Walking and cycling are essential for health, equity, and sustainability.
Thanks to @who.int for leading the call during UN Global Road Safety Week to #MakeWalkingSafe & #MakeCyclingSafe.
What we mean when we talk about commitments? That we need evidence-based actions so that we can walk and cycle safely.
#MakeWalkingSafe #MakeCyclingSafe
Our streets are designed for cars, so they are not safe for pedestrians and cyclists. Maatla Otsogile, from Society of Road Safety Ambassadors, tells us about the challenges we face to be able to walk and cycle safe.
#MakeWalkingSafe #MakeCyclingSafe

#MobilitySnapshots show that those who walk are overlooked: no pedestrian crossings, no footpaths, unsafe speeds. Yet only 4 countries at the Ministerial Conference in Marrakech made public commitments to protect pedestrians.
Walking must be safe.
#MakeWalkingSafe #CommitToAct

We need safe streets for everyone.
