Ukraine aims to cut road accidents by 30% by 2025, Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Krikliy, advised a government-business meeting, “Safety Matters.” He said this would save 1,500 lives a year and avoid injuries to another 15,000 people. To get there, Ukravtodor, the state highway agency, is building 26 roundabouts, 76 collision absorber systems, hundreds of speed cameras and 887 illuminated pedestrian road crossings. The World Bank estimates road accidents cost Ukraine two percent of GDP, or $2 billion.
