Hundreds of cities have achieved zero road deaths in a year. Here’s how they did it

"It’s National Road Safety Week and it comes on the back of a year in which
1,286 people died on Australian roads. The rising road toll – up 8.2% for the
year to March – included 62 children. Tragically, road deaths remain the number
one killer of children in Australia.

Road deaths are not inevitable. In 2022, at least 180 cities worldwide recorded
zero road deaths. More than 500 cities with populations of more than 50,000
have achieved zero road deaths multiple times.

So cities can eliminate road deaths, or greatly reduce them. At the same time,
these cities are creating healthier streetscapes that people want to be active
and spend time on. They have done this by taking action on several fronts to
make roads safe."
