Vision Zero Is Coming To Los Angeles County
2

• You may have heard of Vision Zero, a global
  initiative that started in Sweden and has spread
  throughout the world. The plans goal is to end
  pedestrian traffic deaths. Los Angeles County is
  now launching its draft Vision Zero Action Plan
  that lays out plans for the first five years of
  the effort. Vision Zero forces state and
  community leaders to take a serious look at the
  safety concerns in and around roadways.

How Bad Is The Problem?

• When people look at the statistics from the
  California Office of Traffic Safety, they can see
  so alarming numbers. For the latest full
  reporting year, there were
• 867 pedestrian crash fatalities
• 14,215 pedestrian crash injuries
• 147 bicycle crash fatalities
• 11,634 bicycle crash injuries

4
Closer to home, people know that traffic deaths
are rising in LA County, particularly in
unincorporated areas. Even though pedestrians
walking only accounted for 9 of all collisions,
they were involved in 20 of all fatal and
serious injury collisions in the county. Almost
all pedestrian crashes result in an injury or a
fatality because the human body is so vulnerable.
5
When a passenger vehicle slams into a person,
regardless of speed, the chances of an injury
occurring are high. It is not uncommon to see
pedestrian crash victims suffering from the
following

• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Broken or dislocated bones
• Severe lacerations or even amputations
• Internal organ damages or internal bleeding

6
These injuries all require immediate and
extensive medical treatment that can become
incredibly costly, particularly if the insurance
companies do not cover all of the expenses. They
will rarely take other crash-related costs into
consideration, things like lost income if a
victim cannot work, immeasurable pain and
suffering, possible home and vehicle
accommodations, and more.
7
Throughout the county, there were over 6,000
pedestrian crash injuries or fatalities for the
latest reporting year. Los Angeles County is a
busy place, but traffic safety could be better.
Vision Zero is a laudable goal and will hopefully
cut into pedestrian crash incidents. Nobody
should ever have to lose their life to a
negligent or reckless driver.
