Road safety and education initiatives in Uruguay and AR

Overview

Road safety initiatives are being implemented across Uruguay and parts of Argentina through various educational and simulation programs.

In Uruguay, the National Road Safety Unit (Unasev) organized the 19th Road Safety Week, which featured a traffic accident simulation to test the coordination between emergency services, including 911, SAME-105, and firefighters. The program also included technical sessions on emergency response and maintenance services for motorcycle riders.

Complementary efforts in local municipalities focus on driver education and social inclusion. In Florida, Uruguay, workshops were provided to help young people gain the knowledge necessary to obtain driver's licenses. Similarly, in Bella Vista, Argentina, transit agents launched training seminars for students and specialized workshops to address risky behaviors among young motorcyclists.
