This year\u2019s #3500LIVES campaign advocates the importance of responsible road sharing among all road users.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

On 16 September 2021, the Automobile Association of Singapore (AA Singapore), together with F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and Motor Sports Singapore (MSS), launched the latest visual of the #3500LIVES campaign in partnership with outdoor\u00a0advertising company, JCDecaux. AA Singapore\u2019s President, Mr Bernard Tay, flagged off the campaign at a bus shelter at Buangkok Drive together with JCDecaux\u2019s Business Development Director, Ms Jennifer Lee as well as MSS\u2019s President, Mr Winson Ow.<\/p>\n

\"\"The visual, featuring FIA F1 racing driver Mick Schumacher and professional road racing cyclist Julian Alaphilipe, has been put up in various bus shelters all over Singapore.<\/p>\n

The #3500LIVES road safety campaign refers to the 3,500 lives lost daily to traffic accidents around the world. Since 2017, the campaign has been translated into 33 languages and displayed in over 1,200 towns and cities across more than 80 countries every year. The theme of this year\u2019s campaign \u2014 Share the Road<\/em> \u2014 highlights the responsibility all road users must bear in sharing roads.<\/p>\n

Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists today make up 54% of all road traffic deaths. The lack of dedicated infrastructure \u2014 such as bicycle lanes \u2014 in some countries leaves cyclists vulnerable to impact and injury. This year, AA Singapore invites all road users to obey the speed limits, slow down in reduced visibility conditions, signal their intentions in advance, and keep a safe distance. AA Singapore is also taking this opportunity to encourage drivers to be aware of bicycle paths, and ensure a safe passing distance when overtaking cyclists.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cWith 1.4 million people killed and many more injured in road accidents each year, road safety is a real public health issue. As a key global player in urban travel and mobility, JC Decaux Group is committed to help make cities safer and to enhance the lives of citizens around the world,\u201d asserted Ms Lee. \u201cSince the start of our global partnership with the FIA in 2017, we have broadcast road safety messages in 80 countries on more than 139,000 JC Decaux panels globally. Through the billions of impressions we deliver worldwide daily, we hope to change peoples\u2019 mindset and behaviour for the better,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Ms Lee felt that the theme, \u2018Share the Road\u2019, was particularly relevant in Singapore as the government is advocating active mobility and encouraging Singaporeans to walk and cycle more. Through this initiative, it is hoped that all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists, will play their part in making our roads even safer.<\/p>\n

Following the launch of the visuals, AA Singapore will be running online campaigns to leverage and maximise the exposure of the Share the Road<\/em> message. The campaign will be promoted on AA Singapore\u2019s social media platforms, such as Facebook<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>and Instagram<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0, to showcase videos and road safety advocacy tips. To generate interest in the online sphere and create an ongoing conversation for the public, AA Singapore will be launching a Spot-and-Tag contest, where Members of the public who spot the #3500LIVES visuals at the bus shelters, can take a photo with it and tag AA Singapore on both Facebook and Instagram. In addition, to better advocate the meaning behind\u00a0Share the Road<\/em>, AA Singapore invites Members of the public to promote a safer road environment for all commuters through a TikTok Road Safety Jingle <\/em>Challenge via the hashtag, #3500LIVES!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
