The public consultation for the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030, known as "Vision Zero 2030," is set to conclude this Saturday, July 18, at 11:59 PM on the ConsultaLEX platform. The Autoridade Nacional de Segurança Rodoviária (ANSR) has been actively encouraging participation from citizens, institutions, and organizations through their campaign "Vision Zero 2030. A vision that listens."
This strategy, aligned with the European Commission's road safety policies and the Stockholm Declaration, aims to eliminate road fatalities and serious injuries by 2030. It emphasizes shared responsibility among road users, infrastructure managers, vehicle manufacturers, security forces, and emergency services.
Madeira, recognized as the region with the most favorable road safety evolution in Portugal in recent years, has an opportunity to influence this national strategy. The latest ANSR report highlights Madeira's progress, which could serve as a model for other regions.
Understanding Vision Zero 2030
The core principle of Vision Zero 2030 is straightforward yet ambitious: no road death or serious injury is inevitable. The strategy is built on five pillars of shared responsibility, aiming to create a safer road environment.
- Road users
- Infrastructure managers
- Vehicle manufacturers
- Security forces
- Emergency services
Residents and tourists alike are invited to contribute their perspectives, helping shape a safer future for Madeira's roads. Participation is crucial as it reflects public opinion in shaping a comprehensive and inclusive road safety strategy.
