Road design, safety and Vision Zero

(05-13-2019, 04:27 PM)danbrotherston Wrote: Please, answer for me, why are people in Sweden not willing to kill people, but we are?

Sweden set the Vision Zero goal (zero traffic deaths by 2020) in 1997, 22 years ago. They have reduced traffic deaths by about 50%, but the fatality rate has now been pretty much flat for the last five years.

So the Swedes are still willing to "kill" 250 people per year.

Your choice of the verb "to kill" is (probably intentionally) highly provocative/incendiary, given that it means "to cause the death of a person". And I think most people would agree that road design is not the cause of all (or even most) traffic deaths in Canada, or in other countries.
