Vision Zero definition

Vision Zero approach to road safety means working towards the provision of a modern road network where users are safe from the risk of being killed or seriously injured. Many of the Council’s planned road safety actions are set out in the Streets Ahead Road Safety Plan, centred around the themes of education and encouragement; enforcement, engineering and e-safety.

Vision Zero means that the vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, etc.) will determine some of the safety demands on the system. For example, in streets where pedestrians and bicyclists cannot be separated from car traffic, the speeds have to be reduced to or below 30 km/h in order almost to guarantee that no one is killed in an accident. Some other examples are that in side-on collisions speeds should not exceed 50 km/h and in head- on collisions, speeds should not exceed 70 km/h in order to avoid serious injuries.
