FEHRL’s Deputy Secretary General, Dr Adewole Adesiyun, gave a presentation (Road Safety: The role of Infrastructure) at the recently held Road Safety Event in Athens.

The conference “European Best Practices in Road Safety” was organised by FERSI and the Hellenic Institute of Transport and took place on 20 – 22 February 2011.  The main aim of the conference was the promotion of road safety by exchanging views and experiences between all relevant stakeholders on success stories and the most promising policies and action plans. Besides its wider European interest and importance, this event was also very important for Greece where the Ministry of Infrastructure Transport and Networks is undertaking a series of major initiatives in order to promote road safety and improve the road safety record of the country.
