More than a million lives are lost on the world’s roads every year. But these deaths are not inevitable. We reflect on the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims #WDoR2025 and the global theme “Lost Talents,” honoring the lives cut short by road crashes: https://vitalstrat.org/4shrToO
LA’s #WDoR2025 memorial filled a plaza with 711 black chairs, each paired with a single yellow rose. It was a reminder of the lives lost on LA roads this year and of how many could be saved with proven safety strategies

Nearly 1,000 people rode through DC for #WDoR2025, honoring Sarah Debbink Langenkamp and urging Congress to pass the Active Transportation Safety Act. A memorial and a demand for change.

At Boston’s #WDoR2025 event rows of more than 300 yellow flowers moved with the wind, each one representing someone who didn’t make it home. Families showed up to remember and to push the state to act on speed & truck safety. These photos say it all: visionzeronetwork.org/wdor-2025
In Indianapolis, families and neighbors walked Raymond Street to remember lives lost and call for safer design + lower speeds. A powerful reminder that change begins in our own corridors.

"Remembrance without action in Virginia is not enough and we have to do something different," said Virginia DMV Commissioner Gerald Lackey. "We have not cracked the nut of highway safety."

Worcester advocacy groups & city officials addressed the crowd at the vigil. The event also featured a poem from Worcester Youth Poet Laureate Serenity Jackson.
MassBike is proud to have supported the Worcester #WDoR2025 event with a mini-grant to help offset expenses that make the event happen.
a portion of a fence in front of a park maybe. there are white flowers tied in bundles to the fence, in regular intervals at knee height. between them, and up near the top of the fence, are yellow ribbons loosely attached
a group of people in front of a brick wall & building, with trees on the left of the photo. most people have their back to the camera; one person in a red hat is facing camera left and (presumably) taking a picture with their phone. everyone is in cold-weather gear and there is an orange bike on camera right
black and yellow pins that say "vision zero" above line art of a lit, heart-shaped candle and "worcester" below the candle. some pins are black with yellow art; others are yellow with black art
a crowd stand in a semi-circle around someone speaking. the speaker's back is to the camera; everyone is wearing cold-weather gear. the background is trees, a street with parked cars, and a large building
On a windy Sunday, Worcester observed World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. 50 advocates & city officials showed up and marched on Park Avenue and held a vigil at Peace Park, located on Pleasant Street.

Yesterday we gathered at Luuwit View Park to mark the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims #WDoR2025, led by @pdx-fss.bsky.social. Traffic violence continues to take lives & injure 1000s every year, disproportionately harming BIPOC, low-income, & unhoused Oregonians.
Yesterday, 75+ communities across the U.S. came together for World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims #WDoR2025. Their voices and stories fuel this work. Stay tuned – a full recap of events is coming soon.

More from yesterday’s World Day of Remembrance observances in Jersey City, with our new or refreshed roadside memorials in the Western Slope, Journal Square, and Greenville. May we honor the memories of those lost to traffic violence by ending it. #WDoR2025 🕯️
Thank you to everyone who came to this year's World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.
Together, our presence shined a needed light on these tragedies and the urgent need for change.💛 #WDoR2025
It's interesting to see how much crash coverage you get scrolling through WCVB's feed. They even use the phrase "joyride" to describe a crash caused by a teen girl stealing a car
We need better media on #VehicularViolence #WDoR2025

“We know what works to deter dangerous speeds, but in too many cases our local, state and federal leaders are standing in the way of life-saving change.”

Just blown away at how quickly World Day of Remembrance (for victims of traffic crashes) has grown. #WDoR2025
This has been an invisible issue in the public consciousness, despite enormous harms and readily available solutions.

Canada’s #RoadSafetyStrategy + @VisionZeroCA call for improved public awareness, communication, legislation, regulations & vehicle + road safety infrastructure. Safer roads for all = healthier, more sustainable + prosperous communities + economies.

Choices like those in Ontario Bill 212 will cost more lives + make more congestion by removing protected bike lanes on major roads + hindering development of safe roads in Canada's most densely populated communities: buff.ly/3YsGBeg

🚦 Today is the Day of Remembrance for Victims of Traffic Incidents 🚦
