Vision Zero reportedly reduces crashes at intersections

"New data shows that Vision Zero's efforts to reduce traffic collisions at intersections are working with a 31% decrease in crashes causing serious injury and death in intersections since the Austin Transportation Department began work in 2016."

19 intersections changed

Changes:

• Increased crosswalk visibility
• Bicycle signage and added bicycle detection
• Protective green or flashing yellow arrows for left turns
• Adjusted stop light cycles and adding warning signals

On the other hand, traffic fatalities are up overall, so we're heading in the wrong direction to reach "Vision Zero".
