Cyprus recognizes that a big proportion of road crashes involve young road

users and therefore it will host the ““““4444thththth EuropeanEuropeanEuropeanEuropean RoadRoadRoadRoad SafetySafetySafetySafety Day”Day”Day”Day” ((((25252525 JulyJulyJulyJuly

2012201220122012)))) dedicated to Youth with representatives from competent national

authorities and Youth Organizations of EU and its neighboring regions.

The aim is to increase awareness on the sensitive issue of Road Safety

among the young people and to give the opportunity to the participants to

exchange views and propose possible concrete actions on ways to improve

youth road safety in a national and regional level.

The idea is to promote EU road safety policy and actions to EU’s neighboring

regions and to “inject” the EU Road Safety Action Programme with specific

references and possible future actions addressed to young road users, turning

young people from policy followers to policy formulators.
