In the ten years leading up to the start of the Decade of Road Safety some one thousand and five hundred Hong Kong citizens of all ages lost their lives in road crashes. Protect HongKong will mark the start of the Decade of Road Safety by gathering together one thousand five hundred people of all ages at an open-air venue at 7 pm on 11 May 2011.  Each participant, representing one fatality, will beat a traditional drum building to a crescendo - a cry to the community and Government to turn rhetoric into action.
