STA CO-ORGANISES A ROAD SAFETY TECHNICAL FORUM WITH THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT OF CAMEROON (YAOUNDÉ, 13-14 JUNE 2017)

STA organises a 2-day Road Safety Technical Forum in Yaoundé on 13 – 14 June 2017, in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport of Cameroon. The event will gather more than 70 road and mobility experts and is intended to promote the exchange of knowledge and best practice on road safety in Africa and Europe.

Europe has witnessed a major shift in road safety thanks to harmonised standards and regulations among the 28 EU member states. This approach has permitted a strong reduction in fatal accidents but has also allowed road equipment manufacturers to improve the quality of their products. Public authorities and professionals around the world need to acquire a good understanding of the equipment available and their norms, as well as the tools and know-how which will allow them to implement effective measures that will save lives.

This event will cover the three most fundamental pillars necessary for the successful implementation of road safety policies: a) Road Restraint Systems (RRS) b) horizontal signage, and c) vertical signage.

During this 2-day event, significant worldwide experts will provide road safety and mobility professionals with theoretical background and practical case studies in order for them to acquire an overview of road safety frameworks in the EU as well as to understand the importance of a long-term strategic vision, and the importance in the choice of equipment.
