Summary

The United Nations has included a road safety target in the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals. Our challenge will be to provide the catalyst and capacity to make the target of reducing road deaths to less than 600,000 per year achievable. We want to deliver a world free of high-risk roads – innovation, investment, scale and sharing of success will make this possible.

The iRAP Innovation workshop 2015, held at the Royal Horseguards Hotel, London UK,  is a platform for those using iRAP tools and those involved in road infrastructure safety more broadly to transfer their know-how quickly to each other through mutual support and friendly competition.
