In 2010, Lancaster, CA transformed Lancaster Blvd. from a 5 lane road into a tree lined, 2 lane street.

The positive impact was immediate with 50+ new businesses opening and $273mm in new economic activity and w/ reduced speeds, traffic related injuries plummeted.

"For the US, this may be the most important road safety lesson from abroad: Many of the best solutions are quite simple. Build slower streets. Penalize reckless drivers. Use regulations and taxes to nudge the car industry toward smaller, safer models." #VisionZero

In Italy road safety is on the front page, but sympathy from politicians is not enough. It’s time for action.

Read Antonio Avenoso's passionate plea, published in today's edition of @Corriere.

We will not accept tens of thousands of fatal crashes each year as normal or as the cost of a modern transportation system. They are preventable, and we will act to prevent them.
