Transforming Roads for the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport Roads are the arteries of global mobility, connecting people, goods and opportunities. How road systems are planned, built and managed will determine whether the UN Decade achieves its goals. Today, IRF is pleased to announce a commitment with @Arup, @ntroausnz, @RoadSafetyNGOs, @FIDIC, @iRAPSavingLives, ORIS Materials Intelligence and @WWF to advance: 🔹 Inclusive roads that improve safe rural access, connect isolated communities to essential services and rebalance urban space to prioritise active and collective mobility. 🔹 Safe roads that are aligned with the targets of the UN Decade of Action on Road Safety, embedding evidence-based safety principles and interventions into planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation. 🔹 Green roads that advance decarbonisation and resilience, enabling low-emission vehicles and fuels, using sustainable materials, applying whole-life carbon management frameworks and biodiversity-sensitive planning using nature-based solutions. 🔹 Efficient and smart roads that maximise value, safety and performance through digitalisation, automation and intelligent operations, supported by procurement and contractual frameworks that enable data-driven maintenance, logistics and traffic flow.
