EXCLUSIVE: City Council finds 4 Vision Zero actions were most effective in reducing street collision casualties in new analysis

A new City Council analysis of data from the city’s Vision Zero program to eliminate traffic deaths and injuries found that four specific interventions designed to slow vehicle speeds and boost pedestrian visibility were the most effective at reducing such casualties over its first 10 years in effect, amNewYork has learned.

The analysis, which was shared with amNewYork ahead of its Wednesday release, looks at the effectiveness of nine specific street safety interventions, both physical infrastructure and policy changes, the city has employed through the program since its 2014 launch.
