Vision Zero
A Collaborative Commitment to Safe Mobility
The Vision Zero initiative is a revolutionary approach aimed at achieving zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Rooted in the belief that even one death is unacceptable, Vision Zero is about ensuring safe mobility for all road users.
What is Vision Zero?
Vision Zero originated in Sweden in 1997 with the radical goal of eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries. This ambitious vision has since been adopted globally, reinforcing the notion that fatalities and severe injuries in road traffic are preventable.
The Safe System Approach
The foundation of Vision Zero rests on the Safe System approach, which is guided by six core principles:
- Deaths and Serious Injuries are Unacceptable
- Humans Make Mistakes
- Humans are Vulnerable
- Responsibility is Shared
- Safety is Proactive
- Redundancy is Crucial
Safe System Elements
To create a holistic and secure transportation network, the Safe System approach incorporates five key elements:
- Safe Road Users: Promoting responsible behaviors and equitable access for all users.
- Safe Vehicles: Enhancing vehicle safety features to protect occupants and other road users.
- Safe Speeds: Setting and enforcing appropriate speed limits to reduce crash impact.
- Safe Roads: Designing infrastructure that minimizes risk and accommodates human mistakes.
- Post-Crash Care: Ensuring rapid and effective medical response to save lives.
