3.0 Road Safety Conferences
In 2014, a new edition of the 3.0 Confer-
ence was held, aimed at reflecting on the
key aspects of road safety. On this occa-
sion, the meeting focused on the ‘2020
Cero Víctimas’ objective and involved
experts on the issue and representa-
tives from various groups such as bikers,
cyclists and drivers, who discussed the
most important measures to be adopted
by each of them in order to achieve the
proposed objective.

no awards once again recognised
the people, actions, organisations
and public authorities that actively

country. The award ceremony took

ence of the President of the Senate,

or Minister, Jorge Fernández Díaz,

'Good road education saves
lives'
As part of Ponle Freno, various
awareness campaigns have been
launched such as the usual ones for
the peak traffic periods of Easter
Week and summer. These ask peo-
ple to be cautious and responsible
when travelling on the roads. Ad-
ditionally, together with its strate-
gic partner Axa, Ponle Freno has
launched the awareness campaign
"Good education on the road saves
lives", which consists in the broad-
casting on the website and social
networks of four videos recorded
with a hidden camera which show
absurd situations seen in everyday
life but which also resemble hab-
its that regularly take place on the
roads. The campaign asked people
to share the videos to help them go
viral and spread the message.
