World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims

November 15 · Level 3 · #1580 of 2238

This day remembers people killed or injured on the roads and the families whose lives have changed alongside theirs. It makes room for grief while drawing attention to the support survivors need and the practical steps that can prevent further deaths.

How it is celebrated: communities hold memorial gatherings, light candles and observe moments of silence. Families and campaigners also call for safer streets and better care for those affected.

The observance moves around the calendar: it falls on the third Sunday in November, rather than a fixed date.
