Road to Zero

The National Road Safety Strategy (2023–2038) is the Cayman Islands Government’s long-term commitment to eliminate road fatalities by 2038. Led by the Ministry of Planning, Lands, Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure, the strategy targets four key areas:

•  Education – Public awareness campaigns, school outreach, community events
• Enforcement – Targeted patrols, DUI operations, speed checkpoints
• Engineering – Safer intersections, speed-reducing infrastructure, better signage
• Emergency Response – Faster incident reporting, data-driven resource planning

In Year 1, we:

• Installed speed-calming measures in high-risk zones
• Upgraded school zone signage and road markings
• Increased police visibility through 12 targeted enforcement campaigns
• Ran public education campaigns on texting, speeding, and seat belt use

But the work continues. Reckless driving still claims lives. That’s why in Year 2, we’re launching a bold new message:

Smart vs. Reckless 

We all want to arrive safely—whether it’s to school, work or home to your family. This campaign is about choosing smart over reckless in those everyday moments:

• Buckling up instead of risking it
• Slowing down instead of rushing
• Staying alert instead of checking your phone
• Road safety isn’t someone else’s responsibility—it’s yours, too.

Let’s shift the mindset. Let’s choose smart.

This strategy is a joint effort between government agencies, emergency services, and community organisations.
