Between May 17-23, 2021, A.O. "Automobile Club of Moldova" (ACM), with the support of the local Directorates of Education, Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research of the Republic of Moldova, organized actions to support the 6th edition of the Global Safety Week UN Road, within several educational institutions in the capital.

Thus, jointly with the "Oratorul" Theater, at 8 high schools in the capital (theoretical high schools "Minerva", "Universul", Ștefan cel Mare", "Dimitrie Cantemir", "Iulia Hașdeu", "Antioh Cantemir", "Kiril și Metodiu ”, "George Meniuc"), flashmobs were organized with the involvement of students, to attract and sensitize public attention and the responsible authorities, to the need for interventions in the field of securing the areas around schools, to ensure children a safe way home-school. In support of the initiative, the students arranged themselves in the shape of the number 30, which was filmed with a drone.

During this week, teachers spent road safety lessons, as well as thematic competitions were organized in each individual institution. Also, ACM, together with "Oratorul", spent a short training session on the topic of road safety for children from "Mărțișor" kindergarten, drawing and cutting together the #Love30 heart - the logo of the global campaign to give to parents.

On May 21, a national meeting was held, with the involvement of teachers and parents from all over the republic, in relation to the initiative to establish a speed limit of 30 km/h around schools and in dangerous areas for vulnerable traffic participants and the road risks their children are exposed to near school and near home, proving that low-speed streets can save lives as well as provide a safe environment for children to grow and travel. All participants in the meeting supported the initiative and are in favor of 30 km/h speed limits.

All actions during this week are intended to draw public and decision-makers' attention to the problem of excessive speed, which is the main risk factor and the number one cause of death and trauma resulting from road accidents, which is also the number one cause of death among young people aged between 15-29 years, worldwide.

The #Love30 actions aim to increase the degree of understanding of road risks, comprising a series of activities to raise public awareness and combat the phenomenon of road accidents at an international level, to save millions of lives on the roads. It also requires taking urgent measures to reduce the number of deaths and injuries by 50% by 2030; goal set in the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development for the next 10 years (2030).

To support the campaign, ACM's partner - the Eastern Alliance for Safe and Sustainable Transport (EASST) - made a short animation warning drivers to reduce their speed to 30 km/h in the vicinity of schools: YOUTUBE.
