Road Safety Week is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of road safety, observed globally. It aims to educate the public on how to prevent road tragedies and to remember those who have lost their lives on the roads. The week encourages participation from individuals, schools, businesses, and public agencies, emphasizing the collective effort needed to enhance road safety. Typical actions during this week include organizing events such as road safety demonstrations, educating both children and adults about safe driving practices, and promoting road safety messages on social media using the hashtag #RoadSafetyWeek. Participants are also encouraged to take pledges to commit to safer driving behaviors, such as not using phones while driving and wearing seatbelts. The initiative was founded by Brake, a road safety charity, to promote year-round awareness and action on road safety issues.
