Speed management in Latin America: the case of Argentina

This FAL Bulletin concerns one of the projects funded by the United Nations Road Safety Fund. In 2018, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 72/271, entitled “Improving global road safety”, which established the Fund, with a view to joining forces and consolidating action to achieve safe mobility targets. The project “Speed management in Latin America: the case of Argentina” was selected for implementation thanks to the Fund and aimed at strengthening technical capacity to implement public policies and strategies to change the perception of the public —in particular in the municipalities of Azul, Cañuelas and Pergamino— about the benefits of reducing speed on urban and rural roads with a clear goal in mind: to advocate for a safer road environment for all.
