The 2021 UN Road Safety week will be an opportunity to launch the global plan for the newly proclaimed decade of action for road safety 2021-2030. Focusing on speeding, the next week will highlight the importance of speed in the reduction of fatal road crashes.  According to WHO, speed has been identified as a key risk factor in road traffic injuries, influencing both the risk of a road crash as well as the severity of injuries that result from road crashes. Different road safety organizations have already shown support for the 2021 road safety week with the hashtag #RoadSafetyWeek.
