Ten national and international organizations have partnered to create the Albanian Coalition for Road safety. The Coalition aims to increase public awareness and educate the Albanian public on road safety measures and advocate for responsible driving.
Road traffic injuries are a national public health and development problem in Albania and their magnitude is rising at alarming levels. Traffic related accidents in Albania are 3.5 percent higher than in other Eastern and Central European countries.
However, traffic injuries can be prevented. Improving public awareness and understanding of road safety is an essential component in reducing the level of traffic related injuries and deaths. By acting on a number of factors many lives and financial resources can be saved. The Campaign will target four key areas; speeding, drink-driving, the use of seat-belts, and the rules of the road.
