Measures to curtail road safety hazards facing delivery agents zipping around on two wheelers and operating under strict timelines to ship e-commerce orders will be among the key issues before a United Nations panel on road traffic meeting in New Delhi next month.
The three-day conference held from November 4 to 6 is being jointly organised by the Institute of Road Traffic Education and the Global Road Safety Forum of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and its Asia-Pacific counterpart, the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.
Nearly 23 countries are expected to participate in the conference. The conference will deliberate over road safety concerns emanating from proliferation of delivery agents as well as operation of two-wheeler taxis and two-wheeler ambulances as well as the need for regulatory and legal changes in the law.
