The objective of the reform is the improvement of road safety and reduction of victims of road accidents, as Bulgaria has one of the highest rate of road accident fatalities in the EU. The reform includes setting up a conceptual framework for new road safety management in a single integrated strategic document for 2021-2030 and the implementation of its first action plan by 30 June 2023. The reform shall result in the removal of at least 50% of the total number of road safety blackspots/hotspots and is expected to lead to a 30% reduction of annual deaths and serious injuries from road safety accidents by 2025 (compared to 2019). The reform shall be completed by 31 March 2026.
