At what point does Vision Zero start to make sense?
It's common knowledge that Vision Zero in many Europeans countries has lowered traffic fatalities and injuries while in North America most vision zero jurisdictions have continued to experience a rise in fatalities and injuries.
I'm wondering if this paradigm helps explain the difference.
Thanks Graham. Yeah, I wasn't really thinking about Vision Zero when I was thinking about this, but it's definitely the case that the higher a place ranks on this hierarchy the easier VZ would be to achieve. Not to say it's either sufficient or essential to rank high here to achieve VZ, but there is likely a very strong correlation.
Very nice write up Dan! So far in my life I got to experience the two bottom levels, while dreaming about the top two.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
