5 Points. Limiting Pedestrian Deaths from the Mother Country,

The mother country, Sweden, is your go-to way to lower pedestiran deaths, and here’s what American cities are looking to emulate:

• Sweden began Vision Zero to lower pedestrian deaths in 1997
• Focus first on rural roads by building 3 lane roads, with a middle lane used for passing only.
• Build separated bike lanes
• Lower speed limits
• Create pedestrian-only zones
