Event Details
The Ten Step Plan for Safer Road infrastructure was produced by the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) partners to support countries seeking to improve road infrastructure safety including implementing the UN Convention on Road Traffic and Road Signs and Signals, and achieving Global Road Safety Performance Targets 3 and 4. The Plan provides a framework to build the institutional capacity, partnerships and regulatory framework in countries.
Tanzania was the first country in the world to implement the Ten Step Plan. Jointly funded by the UNRSF, UKAid and Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF), and under the guidance of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the project was implemented by a consortium of the International Road Federation (IRF) Geneva, iRAP, the World Road Association (PIARC) and the Tanzania Roads Association (TARA), together with the Government of Tanzania and local agencies.
The project led to the launch of a locally led TanRAP Road Assessment Programme; a Training and Accreditation Scheme to build local capacity; recommendations for a National Road Safety Strategy and revisions to the Road Geometric Design Manual; and expansion of more than 10,000 km of safety assessments using the global iRAP methodology influencing more than USD$1 billion of development bank investment. The project was awarded a 2023 Prince Michael International Road Safety Award.
With the support of a grant from the UNRSF, iRAP, IRF and EASST are supporting Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan on a key step of the Ten Step Plan, to update road design standards, as part of the Safe and Inclusive Road Design – Central Asia project.
Also with the support of a grant from the UNRSF, Senegal and international partners will soon begin implementing a Ten Step Plan project, with an aim of building capacity and helping to catalyse investment in safer roads.
The Ten Step Plan offers a template that can be adopted by any country and implemented in a way that matches the specific local context and needs, ultimately empower mobility enabling of a sustainable future for all.
