IFP
Your slogan goes here
IFP is a network of non-profit associations and individuals from all over the world, working for pedestrians and liveable public space. IFP was founded as an UN-accredited NGO in 1963 and has been promoting the rights of pedestrians ever since.
We launched our urban speed position paper!
Launched during the 6th UN Road Safety Week, you can find the position paper here.

Why 30 km/hr as default driving speed?

EU Global Safety Regulation
Together with ETSC, ECF, Polis and other NGOs, IFP fights hard to have the final technical requirements right for ISA (Intelligent Speed Assistance). This is part of the Global Safety Regulation, a European package that mandates a number of very valuable safety features on all new cars from 2022/2024 onwards. Seemingly small technical details are crucially important to mandate an effective system that will significantly reduce speeding and has been calculated to save many lives. Implementing a good system within the EU will also have its repercutions in the rest of the world. See our latest position statement.

Embrace the smart car kilometer reduction in Brussels
Brussels plans to start with congestion charges, but Flanders and Wallonia are heavily opposed. In an open letter published in De Morgen (in Dutch) and Le Soir (in French) to the President of the Walloon Region after his recent request to delay, IFP president Geert van Waeg explains why they should embrace it. (Englih version).
