VVN

VVN is an acronym that can refer to several organizations and concepts. The most widely recognized use is Veilig Verkeer Nederland (Dutch for Safe Traffic Netherlands), a Dutch nonprofit focused on road safety and traffic education.

Veilig Verkeer Nederland works to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities by promoting safe behavior among pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and motorists. Its activities include public awareness campaigns, educational programs in schools and communities, distribution of safety materials, and training for volunteers and professionals involved in road safety.

The organization operates through national and regional branches and relies heavily on volunteers. It partners with government agencies, law enforcement, schools, municipalities, and transport groups to develop and implement safety initiatives and campaigns.

Its history stems from mid-20th century Netherlands, when rising traffic volumes heightened safety concerns. Over the decades, the organization expanded its education programs, resources, and partnerships, influencing policy discussions and supporting national road-safety campaigns and curricula.

Because VVN is an acronym used by several groups in different countries, the term may refer to other organizations or meanings in contexts outside the Netherlands. When encountered, the specific meaning is determined by the regional or sectoral context.
