Road Safety in Armenia

On 30 June 2025, the Eastern Partnership Road Safety Observatory (EaP RSO) hosted its inaugural regional road safety conference in Chisinau, Moldova.

12-18 May 2025 marked the eighth UN Global Road Safety Week. The theme for this year focused on the pedestrian and cyclist safety noting that despite overall reductions in road casualties globally – deaths and serious injuries amongst vulnerable road users are increasing in almost every world region, including across EASST partner countries.

In April 2025, we completed the second phase of our regional Safe School Zones project, supported by the FIA Foundation Advocacy Hub, with expansive results that have seen safer routes to school for more than half a million children.

We have been working with our local partner to upgrade infrastructure near the roundabout connecting the Artashat Highway with Arin Berd Street in Yerevan, Armenia.

As of February 1, 2024 the Eastern Partnership Regional Road Safety Observatory (EaP RSO) is up and running. Hosted by the Ministry of Economic Development of Georgia, the Technical Secretariat is led by the ISET Policy Institute and EASST, and is located in Tbilisi, Georgia, at the ISET Policy Institute.

National Road Safety Council NGO (NRSC) organises Armenia’s first ever multi-stakeholder dialogue on road safety and low speed school zones.

The EASST regional Situation Report on advancing 30km/h speed limits around school zones in Eastern Europe and Central Asia supports calls to #RethinkMobility for a sustainable transition to safer streets.

60 civil society organisations join unique event to learn more about positive role they can play in supporting road safety interventions.

Three schools in Yerevan, Armenia are now piloting 30km/h speed zones with the aim of improving road safety and reducing speed related road casualties around schools.
