Road safety is a shared responsibility<\/strong> \u2014 it concerns all of us collectively<\/strong> and each of us individually<\/strong>. Let us all contribute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone has an equal right to safe mobility<\/strong>. Look out<\/strong> for vulnerable<\/strong> road users. Help them complete their journeys more easily and safely. Keep pedestrian crossings, ramps, and pavement corners clear.
