The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDoR) honors those affected by roadway crashes. Communities worldwide, including many in the US, unite every third Sunday in November. They gather to promote road safety measures like 
road redesign, lower speed limits, and enhanced vehicle design. It's a vital platform for governments and road safety advocates to highlight the severity of road-related casualties, urging swift and coordinated efforts to combat this Preventable Public Health Crisis.
