Detailed description (English): The idea of the Safe Streets Festival is to close up one of the central streets of Monrovia for the motorized transport to allow only non-motorized ways of transportation, pedestrians and cyclists to enter this street so that citizens could feel free to walk around, to participate in the various activities, to play with children and not to feel endangered to be overrun.
Target group(s): Drivers, pedestrians, (motor)cyclists and other road users
Objectives: Safe roads for all;
increase awareness about rules of road and safer behaviour on road;
raising consciousness about main aspects of road accidents in Liberia: insufficient road worthiness of vehicle and drivers' education.
Partner: Ministry of Transport of Liberia, Liberia National Police, EU Delegation in Monrovia, German Cooperation and GIZ
