Road safety efforts in Belgium and France have focused on both accessibility and enforcement, as well as seasonal visibility. In Auderghem, Belgium, an exhibition titled ‘Ça tient la route’ was scheduled to highlight the challenges faced by people with disabilities in public spaces.

In France, authorities in the Doubs department implemented a charter for administrative agents to promote safer driving habits and conducted roadside checks that resulted in numerous citations for alcohol and narcotic impairment. 

As daylight hours decreased, awareness campaigns shifted toward visibility. In Dijon and Besançon, organizations launched initiatives such as free headlight inspections and awareness stands for pedestrians and cyclists to promote the use of reflective gear and proper lighting during the winter months.
