National Road Victim Month

August 1, 2024 - August 31, 2024

Road signs with the stop sign at the front for National Road Victim Month

National Road Victim Month takes place throughout August. This annual observance aims to remember those who have been killed or injured on the roads and to raise awareness about road safety. Established by the charity RoadPeace, the month serves as a poignant reminder of the impact of road traffic collisions on individuals and families, and the need for ongoing efforts to improve road safety.

National Road Victim Month was initiated to commemorate the lives lost on the roads, including the tragic death of Princess Diana in August 1997, which brought global attention to the issue. The month-long observance provides a platform for education, advocacy, and remembrance. It encourages communities to engage in activities that promote safer driving practices and support those affected by road incidents.

Throughout the month, various activities and events are organised to highlight the importance of road safety and support road victims and their families. These include memorial services, awareness campaigns, educational workshops, and fundraising events. The goal is to foster a culture of safe driving and to provide resources for those who have experienced the trauma of road accidents.
