The 8th UN Global Road Safety Week was held 12-18 May 2025. It mobilized advocates and communities to demand safer streets for walking and cycling and called on policy makers to implement proven interventions to achieve it. When walking and cycling are safe, these modes of transport can contribute to making people healthy, cities sustainable, and societies equitable.
The Alliance mobilized NGOs and other advocates to do Mobility Snapshots as part of their UN Global Road Safety Week campaigns. Mobility Snapshots are data collected at intersections from the perspective of a pedestrian or cyclist. They consider how many people are walking and cycling at an intersection and whether life-saving interventions, such as 30 km/h limits, pedestrian crossings and footpaths, and traffic calming. Advocates select an intersection, upload their information via an online form, and can download an infographic template to share their results.
The Mobility Snapshots were first launched in 2024 for the Alliance’s #CommittoAct campaign. For 2025, cycling questions will be added to the tool.
