About The Plan
Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all. First implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, Vision Zero has proved successful across Europe – and now it’s gaining momentum in major American cities. The approach recognizes that drivers make mistakes, however we can design and operate our transportation system to prevent driver errors from resulting in fatalities and serious injuries.
Las Vegas has seen a steady rise of crashes due to a combination of distracted driving, high speeds, impairment, roadway/intersection construction and failure to obey traffic control devices. The increase in crashes has resulted in an average of one fatality and three and a half serious injuries each week.
