The European Commission has adopted challenging plans to reduce the number of road deaths on Europe's roads by half in the next 10 years.

Initiatives proposed in a set of European Road Safety Policy Orientations 2011-2020 range from setting higher standards for vehicle safety, to improving the training of road users, and increasing the enforcement of road rules. The Commission will work closely with Member States to implement this programme.
