Webinar about Motorized Two-Wheeler Safety: Sweden vs Malaysia Experience
In 2021, several SAFER partners contributed to a highly appreciated seminar on road safety in Malaysia and Sweden, organized by VTI and MIROS, with a focus on "Creating safer environments for vulnerable road users." Building on the success of that event, we are now pleased to announce a follow-up seminar, this time centered around the critical theme of "Motorized two-wheeler safety." The event will once again bring together key stakeholders and experts from both countries to explore strategies, share research findings, and discuss innovative solutions aimed at enhancing the safety of motorized two-wheeler users.
This event offers a platform for exchanging knowledge and experiences, with the goal of reducing accidents and improving road safety for this at-risk group of road users.
