Seven steps to traffic safety
You can adopt your own version of the Vision Zero, one that suits your country’s specific conditions and road traffic culture. It’s not that complicated. This is how to go about it.
- Contact the Vision Zero Initiative.
- Together we will start by setting up feasible interim national reduction targets.
- Divide up the national reduction targets on a regional basis.
- Share the vision with all key players at national level. Setting up a national Road Safety Assembly can be a good way to coordinate different interests. Regional and local assemblies may follow.
- We will help you with analysis and evaluation, policy advice, professional training and strategies for putting the Vision Zero solutions into practice.
- Now you can use the Vision Zero network to choose and contact relevant contractors from the Vision Zero Solutions company network.
- Launch – and see the decline in traffic-related deaths and injuries.
Experience and knowledge
Sweden has spent a long time evaluating many new and creative ways to improve road safety. Car manufacturers, road haulage companies, insurers and others are closely involved and now develop future products and services based on the Vision Zero.
Holistic approach
Our approach is aimed at promoting broad-based and long-term development towards a better approach to road safety across all society’s institutions. Integrating different planning aspects and coordinating safety standards and aspects across multiple areas adds emphasis and legitimacy.
Share the vision
By sharing the vision with all the key players at national level, road system designers and managers must cooperate formally and informally in new ways. A national Road Safety Assembly can coordinate different interests.
A living process
The Vision Zero is a living process. Many countries now acknowledge the potential and advantages and are implementing their own visions. Adopt your own strategy and you will cut the numbers of people killed and seriously injured on your roads.
