N2 - The article analyzes the problem of road safety from the standpoint of achieving international goals in the field of sustainable development and guarantees of human rights to an adequate environment and safe living conditions. The authors analyze statistical data and other documents and examine scientific works of Russian and foreign authors. Urgent action is needed to significantly reduce the global number of road traffic fatalities and injuries. As noted by UN experts, road traffic deaths and injuries are at least in most cases predictable and preventable. The article concludes that in developing appropriate measures and activities for the professional community involved in this process, it is extremely important. The results of the generalization of the best world experience in reducing deaths and injuries on the roads are important. The data of the UN Secretary-General and Russian government agencies regarding the causes of death on the roads in Russia do not coincide. According to Russian experts, Russia cannot be compared with those countries that have a smaller area and length of roads. In addition, the indicators of changes in statistics in the field of road accidents in developing countries do not go in comparison with the indicators in developed countries for objective reasons, including those related to import substitution of automobile products, the quality of roads, and insufficient education of drivers and pedestrians in the field of road safety. The problem of the increasing statistics of road accidents with the intensive growth of motorization requires much more attention from the authorized authorities, as well as the development of further measures to solve this pressing problem.
