Policy 2 The Mayor, through TfL, the boroughs, police and enforcement authorities, will adopt Vision Zero for road danger in London. The aim is for no one to be killed in or by Mayor’s a London bus by 2030, and for all deaths and serious injuries from road collisions to be eliminated from streets by 2041. London’s Vision Zero means that road danger will be targeted at its source by ensuring the street environment incorporates safe speeds, safe people, safe street design and safe vehicles. It means reducing the dominance of motor vehicles on streets, and then making the remaining essential motorised journeys as safe as possible. With Vision Zero, road danger reduction will be considered integral to all the schemes delivered on streets. The proposed pace London’s of progress is set out by the short-, medium- and long-term targets below: 2022 reduce the number of people who are killed or seriously injured by 65 per cent – against 2005-09 levels 2030 reduce the number of people who are killed or seriously injured by 70 per cent – against 2010-14 levels 2041 eliminate all deaths and serious injuries from road collisions from – London’s streets In addition, interim targets have been set regarding buses: 2022 reduce the number of people who are killed or seriously injured in, or by, London – buses by 70 per cent against 2005-09 levels 2030 reduce the number of people killed in, or by, London buses to zero. – speeds is fundamental to reducing road danger because a person is five “Lowering times less likely to be fatally injured if hit at 20mph than at 30mph.” of a safer lorry with improved direct vision cab and a cyclist] [Photo To achieve this, efforts to reduce the danger posed by motor vehicle journeys will be focused in four areas: Safe speeds lowering speeds is fundamental to reducing road danger because a – person is five times less likely to be fatally injured if hit at 20mph than at 30mph Safe street design ensuring all transport infrastructure projects in London contribute to – reducing road danger; attention will focus particularly on areas of highest risk such as busy junctions and roundabouts Safe vehicles making sure those vehicles that need to use streets are as – London’s safe as possible
