Adopt vision zero for safe and healthy travel

A Vision Zero approach to road safety management is based on the belief that no death or serious injury is acceptable on roads and follows the principles of the Safe System, where the five pillars of the road environment work together to minimise risk.

To: Worcestershire County Council
From: [Your Name]

We call for the adoption of Vision Zero, that no one should be killed or seriously injured on our roads. We ask for a 20mph speed limit on residential roads to make streets safer for walking, wheeling and cycling and to reduce the risk of being hurt by a vehicle. Lower speed limits also decrease road noise, improve air quality and promote healthier lifestyles that benefit everyone, including children, the elderly, and those with disabilities.
