UN Global Road Safety Week: Six Actions for Commercial Fleets
Road Safety Week Guide
UN Global Road Safety Week gives fleets a useful reason to review how their vehicles interact with people walking, cycling and riding motorcycles. A campaign matters most when it leads to a lasting change in daily work.
The short answer
Choose one high-risk route or task. Review speed, visibility, turning, distraction and near-miss reports. Make one physical or operating change, train the team and measure whether the change remains in place after the campaign ends.
What was the focus of the eighth Road Safety Week?
The eighth UN Global Road Safety Week ran in May 2025 and focused on making walking and cycling safer. Commercial fleets can support that goal by reducing speed and improving care near crossings, stops and turns.
Which six actions can a fleet take?
Use the six actions below as a one-week review that becomes a normal work process. Focus on routes where large vehicles work close to vulnerable road users.
- Review one high-risk route
- Check speed near people
- Map turn and blind-area risk
- Improve driver and dispatcher rules
- Test one suitable warning layer
- Measure the change after the week
How should speed and turning risk be reviewed?
Check where vehicles turn across walking or cycling paths. Set a safe approach speed, improve direct and camera views, and remove parking or route choices that hide people.
Can ADAS or BSD support the campaign?
A warning may add information about a forward or side risk. It cannot replace a safe turn, mirror check or low speed. Test warnings on the real route and explain limits to drivers.
Where can AlwayCare fit?
The AWS302 and AlwayCare blind spot and around-view products can be reviewed for defined risks. This article does not claim a UN partnership or endorsement.
Common questions

No. The article supports the public campaign and does not claim endorsement.
Is Road Safety Week held every year?
The UN observance is biennial. Check the current official event page.
What is the best first fleet action?
Review a route where large vehicles turn close to people walking or cycling.
Key point to remember
