1
Adopt a Vision Zero Policy
and Develop an Action Plan
Vision Zero captures our goal to
eliminate all fatalities. LADOT will take
actions to more systemically address
safety issues, and Vision Zero will
provide a framework for these actions.
Our efforts will be based on holistic
thinking and proven solutions that
consider the large variety of factors
that contribute to risk such as vehicle
types, location, and time of day.
a. Adopt a Vision Zero policy and
multi-agency task force
b. Complete a comprehensive
pedestrian safety action plan
c. Create a dedicated funding
mechanism to redesign intersections
or streets for enhanced pedestrian
safety
d. Reduce the number of severe
injuries and fatalities on the top 10
prioritized corridors
2
Incorporate Safety for
Pedestrians into all Street
Designs and Redesigns
Our streets must be safe for
people traveling by all modes of
transportation. Prioritizing pedestrians
and vulnerable users such as children
and older adults will enhance safety
for everyone, because streets that
are safe to walk on are also safe for
bikes, buses and cars. We will retrofit
and reconstruct our streets using
both existing tools and pioneering
new design strategies such as
neighborhood “slow zones.”
a. Identify safety-related
improvements that can be bundled
into infrastructure projects
b. Re-time pedestrian signals to
comply with current standards
c. Expedite Safe Routes to School
program
d. Expand implementation of LADOT
continental crosswalks
