Road Safety Week
Why is Road Safety Week so important?
The theme of Road Safety Week 2022 is SAFE ROADS FOR ALL, bringing people together to raise awareness that every life on our roads matters, and every death and injury is preventable.
Road Safety Week will draw attention to key areas of road safety the government supports, including safe roads, safe vehicles and speeds, the new hierarchy of road users, and the importance of inclusivity to keep us all safe on the roads, no matter who we are or how we travel.
Every 22 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on a UK road
Every day, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in the UK
In 2021, 1,558 people were killed on roads in Britain, and more than 25,000 people suffered serious injuries
Road crashes are devastating events for families, friends and communities
Road Safety Week gives us all the opportunity to remember those killed or injured on UK roads, and raise funds to help Brake care for road victims and campaign for safe roads for all
