Posters
Through their striking images and supporting text, the following posters highlight several key facts: the unacceptably high number of deaths, injuries and disabilities caused by road traffic crashes around the world each year; their propensity to strike primarily pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists and passengers of public transport in developing countries; and their enormous costs to society. The posters serve as reminders to policy-makers from many sectors: health, transport, education, law enforcement - that road traffic injuries are a major public health problem, that needs to be addressed.
