Poland
Five years after Poland Joined the European Union, the country is still undergoing large scale economic and social changes. Economic growth over the past decade and increased trade have led to a rapid increase in motorisation rates and traffic.
As a result, road crash death and injury rates are also much higher than the EU average. To address this challenge, GRSP in Poland brings together a wide range of partners and members from all sectors on wide range of projects and programmes.
Road Safety in Poland
ProjectsPilot project: “You’ve been drinking? Don’t drive!”
A multi-sector, multi-phase pilot project that aims to reduce the number of road crashes and road crash injuries caused by alcohol-impaired drivers in the city of Olsztyn, Poland. Public Awareness Campaign: “Speed limits save lives”
Speeding is one of the leading contributory factors to road crashes and injury severity in Poland. Together with the National Road Safety Council and the General Headquarters of the Police, the Partnership launched the public-awareness campaign “Speed limits save lives.” Fleet Safety: Continuation of the Safe Fleet programme
With commercial traffic increasing dramatically in recent decades, fleet safety has long been a central part of GRSP Poland’s programme. That programme continues with diverse activities and projects, ranging from safe-fleet management guidelines, seminars and round-tables for transport companies, trainings for journalists, among other efforts. |
