The World Health Organization has urged countries to invest in safer road systems to meet the UN General Assembly target of cutting road deaths by 50 percent. Director General Tedros Ghebreyesus noted that global fatalities dropped by 21 percent between 2011 and 2025, but warned that stronger action is needed. He expressed concern that 1.1 million people died in road crashes worldwide last year, calling for sustained funding and enforcement measures.
