Prioritizing Safe Speeds: It's Possible!
Tuesday, September 10, 2024 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am PT | Register for the VZN Webinar(link is external)
Join the Vision Zero Network (VZN) on Tuesday, September 10, 2024 for an engaging online discussion on what steps your community can take to implement effective, sustained speed management efforts.
Description
Communities around the world that are making real progress toward Vision Zero are those that proactively and systematically manage speeds for safety. This means moving beyond spot improvements and way beyond education campaigns. Effective speed management takes a different approach. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but progress is absolutely possible if your community shows the political will to use proven strategies that prioritize safety over speed.
Join us on September 10th to talk about some of the steps your community can take to implement effective, sustained speed management efforts. We’ll explore work underway in Santa Rosa, a northern California community of 175K people that straddles the line (and challenges) between urban and suburban, as so many places do.
