Every year, on the third Sunday of November, the world unites to remember the millions of lives lost and injured on our roads. This year, the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDoR)<\/a> takes on even greater significance as we collectively strive for a future where roads are truly safe for all.<\/p>\n

The theme of WDoR2024 is \u2018That Day\u2019<\/a> \u2013 this campaign tells the stories of THAT DAY when traffic collisions stopped or changed the course of the victim\u2019s lives forever. Each victim has her\/his own story of that day, which their relatives, friends and acquaintances carry in their memory. The emotional charge of that day is so strong that it remains in our memory forever. Therefore, on World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims 2024, we remember the stories of \u201cthat day\u201d.<\/p>\n

We encourage iRAP partners to support this annual commemorative event; to remember the innocent lives lost, support the global call to end preventable road traffic crashes and share your action to save lives. The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims continues to play an important part in highlighting the very reason for all the necessary actions outlined in the\u00a0Globaal Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

iRAP continues to support this important day as we pause to #RememberSupportAct for 3-star or better roads for all road users.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
