One more road death is one too many, which is why we are throwing our support behind a new campaign created to reduce deaths across Europe’s roads.

 

Gardaí and TISPOL (the European Traffic Police Network) today launched Project EDWARD, or the first European Day Without A Road Death.

 

Scheduled for Wednesday, 21st September, Project EDWARD has been created as a strategy to clamp down on the number of fatalities and serious injuries on roads across Europe.

 

Explaining the motivation behind the project, TISPOL President Aidan Reid said: “For the first few years of this decade, countries across the EU have been highly successful in pursuing the 2020 50% reduction target. But the arrival of a second successive year of disappointing news shows that this downward trend has stagnated.”

 

 "We need to speed up our efforts, and one initiative we believe can make a big impact is our new European Day Without A Road Death – Project EDWARD for short,” he added.

 

You can throw your support behind the project by pledging online, through this link, and making a conscious effort to help reduce the risks to other drivers and road users.
