The Inland Transport Committee (ITC) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe provided countries with the ITC Recommendations for Enhancing National Road Safety Systems (“ITC Recommendations”), adopted at its eighty-second session (ECE/TRANS/2020/9).

These recommendations give a comprehensive picture of national road safety systems that includes all key elements at the national level with international support. They interconnect the five pillars of the global plan for the Decade of Action 2011-2020 (management, safe user, safe vehicle, safe road and effective post-crash response) and further elaborate with key action areas (legislation, enforcement, education, technology).

Possible actions, ideal responsible authority, national coordination, international support and application of relevant UN road safety related legal instruments for each pillar are specifed in the ITC Recommendations.
