Imagine Law – Multisectoral Leadership for Road Safety within Valenzuela City and Angeles City
This year, ImagineLaw received its second award in recognition of its advocacy efforts that led to the enactment of comprehensive local road safety policies in the Philippines. With support from the United Nations Children’s Fund, ImagineLaw assisted Angeles City and Valenzuela City in developing and enacting local road safety laws that introduce best practice road safety interven tions to be implemented through multi-sectoral coalitions composed of national and local government agencies, civil society, private sector, and the academe.
With the enactment of these policies, efforts are now ongoing to make roads safer for children and other vulnerable road users. The two cities have developed their road safety action plans and conducted road safety assessments around schools to identify engineering and other interventions needed to protect school-going children.
