The Road Safety Authority say ambitious new targets to reduce road deaths and serious injuries can be achieved.
The ten year plan aims to halve the number of people killed and injured on the roads and is the first part of 'Vision Zero', which aims to eliminate all road deaths and serious injuries on Irish Roads by 2050.
Phase one of the plan runs until 2030 and aims to reduce road deaths to 72 or lower a year.
It comes as one person has died and four people have been injured in three separate road crashes in the in the Republic over last three days.
In the North, three men in their 20s died after a car crash in County Tyrone early this morning.
A fourth man was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Speaking to RedFM News, Brian Farrell from the RSA says the plan will work:
"Since we started the journey to make our roads safer with the first road safety strategy in 1998, we have reduced road deaths in the country by 70%, which is just an unbelievable figure. It's impossible to stop someone on the street and say that 'you're alive because of all our road safety interventions', but the fact is, we have saved many hundreds of lives and prevented many serious injuries as a result of our road safety strategies."
