The Adoption of the Stockholm Declaration

That the Parliament welcomes the news that global road safety experts and ministers from 130 countries have adopted the Stockholm Declaration at the third Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, which was hosted by the Swedish Government in collaboration with the World Health Organization on 23 February 2020; understands that the Declaration requires 30 km/h (20 mph) speed limits to be introduced in places where vulnerable road users and vehicles mix; believes that this will make roads and communities safer, lead to cleaner air and help to tackle climate change; welcomes the introduction of 20 mph limits across Scotland, but recognises what it sees as the need for every community to enjoy the benefits of these limits and safer streets.
