Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the implementation of the global goals of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011–2020 in Ukraine. It is stated that the precondition for the adoption of the UN General Assembly resolution № 64/2551, which proclaimed the Decade, was that according to the analysis, almost 1.3 million people are victims of road accidents every year, and its goal is to reduce mortality from Accidents by 50 percent by 2020. The key elements of the activities of national and local government bodies proposed by the Global Plan for the Decade have been identified. An analysis of the dynamics of road traffic injuries in Ukraine for 2010–2020. The influence of the measures introduced by the state on the state of road traffic injuries is investigated and the real indicators of mortality and injuries on the highways of Ukraine are determined. It is established that the mortality rate from road accidents in Ukraine during the Decade decreased by 27.4 %, and during the implementation of the Strategy to increase road safety in Ukraine until 2020 managed to reduce mortality on Ukrainian roads by only 11.5 %. The ambitious goal of the State Program to increase the level of road safety in Ukraine for the period up to 2020 – reducing the number of deaths due to road accidents to 4 people per 100 thousand population – also failed to be achieved. Given the steady decline in the population of Ukraine, this figure is 11.7 deaths in road accidents per 100 thousand population in 2020. It is proved that the measures taken do not fully correspond to the content of strategic decisions taken at the international level. The results of the state initiatives introduced in Ukraine, although outlined the tendency to stabilize road traffic injuries, did not provide even the average European level of dynamics of reducing accidents on highways. The Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011–2020 and the goals of sustainable development, apparently significantly influenced countries that take measures, so they need to be continued until 2030 to maintain the current level of awareness.
