Key Points:

1. Safer Streets Require Intentional Design

Cities can reduce traffic fatalities by implementing proven safety measures like narrower lanes, protected bike paths, and better pedestrian crossings, but only if planners prioritize safety over speed or convenience for drivers.  

2. Political Will is Essential

Many dangerous streets persist because of a lack of political commitment to change. Leaders must prioritize human lives over car-centric infrastructure to create safer urban environments.

3. Community Input Matters

Engaging residents in street design ensures that changes meet local needs, fostering public support and more effective safety improvements.
