In areas with non-motorists, examples of regulatory measures are lower speed limits and more speed controls, while examples of permanent traffic calming measures are chicanes, narrower lanes or trees Vision Zero is a multi-national road traffic safety project that aims to achieve a roadway system with no fatalities or serious injuries involving ...
The British Medical Journal recently reported that speed cameras were effective at reducing accidents and injuries in their vicinity and recommended wider deployment. An LSE study in 2017 found that "adding another 1,000 cameras to British roads could save up to 190 lives annually, reduce up to 1,130 collisions and mitigate 330 serious injuries ...
