The Sakhalin Road Safety Partnership has been officially formed. It has been a challenge to unite people from different countries, companies, administrations, and with diverse backgrounds and cultural approaches to the road safety problem. However, these differences are also a great benefit for helping to find solutions to a complex issue that influence peoples lives and society in general. This diversity really helped us to adapt the ideas that were tested in other countries and projects to the Russian culture, and we have started to implement concrete projects. It is just a month since the Partnership was formed, but the work is going on. We have just begun, but we can see the initial results and the enthusiasm of people, and with all this we firmly believe: together we will build safer roads.
