Vision Zero Action Plan - 2017 | Page 35

IMPLEMENTATION

The City of Los Angeles commits to working with our growing list of community organizations . Leadership and staff from Los Angeles County , our trauma hospitals , and key stakeholder groups , such as the growing Vision Zero Alliance , will be critical in achieving our Vision Zero goals .
Engineering
Streets should be designed to prevent fatal collisions to the greatest extent possible . Engineering improvements such as marked crosswalks , protected bike lanes , or enhanced signalization will improve safety for all road users .
Education
A key component to keeping our streets safe is to learn how to practice safe roadway behavior . New , widespread education efforts involving community partners will help to ensure everyone becomes a part of the culture of safety .
Enforcement
Achieving zero traffic deaths in Los Angeles would be impossible without holding everyone accountable to the laws that keep us safe . However , concern about equitable enforcement of the law is an ongoing national discussion . The City recognizes that an enforcement effort grounded in data will encourage equitable outcomes . Enforcement of Vision Zero will focus on the top driving behaviors shown to cause deaths and serious injury collisions .
Evaluation
Clear data about traffic safety problems and the efficacy of solutions are necessary to track , measure , and achieve our goals . Improving and expanding methods for data collection , analysis , and sharing will help the City to target improvements where they are needed most and deliver cost-effective results .
