This document outlines a plan to reduce traumatic brain injuries from road traffic accidents. It discusses that road traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for people aged 15-29 worldwide, killing nearly 1.3 million people and injuring 20-50 million more each year. The plan proposes focusing on improving road safety management, safer road infrastructure, safer vehicles, safer road user behavior, and enhancing post-crash response through strategies like implementing graduated driver licensing programs, setting and enforcing speed limits, increasing seatbelt and helmet use, reducing drunk driving, and strengthening emergency response systems. The goal is to cut deaths and injuries from traffic accidents through low-cost road improvements and promoting protective equipment.
