Keys to designing cities for fewer fatalities

“Design measures include:
  • Compact cities - short block lengths, concentrated housing and business districts;
  • Reduce traffic speeds - traffic-calming measures to slow cars;
  • Streets for people, not just cars - pedestrian islands, wide sidewalks, plazas and bike lanes;
  • Public transportation safe, affordable, and convenient, and;
  • Use data mapping techniques to identify problem spots and target design fixes.”
