Vision Zero - Safe Transport

Our safe transport goal would be zero road deaths, zero road injuries, and zero fear of traffic.

Transport systems are traditionally designed for maximum capacity and mobility, not safety. This means road users are held responsible for their own safety. The Vision Zero Initiative takes the opposite approach. We place the main burden for safety on system design because we recognise human weaknesses and low tolerance to mechanical force. Ultimately, no one should die or suffer serious injury in traffic.

A new Road Traffic Safety Bill will set an ultimate target of no deaths or serious injuries on the roads, and is not merely content to reduce accidents to an economically manageable level.
