The 8th UN Global Road Safety Week will be held 12-18 May 2025. It aims to mobilize advocates and communities to demand safer streets for walking and cycling and calls 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 Mobility Snapshots will be the primary tool for the Alliance’s campaign mobilization.
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.
