NEXT STEPS TOWARD ZERO
It’ s Time for Action
With the recognition that our first Vision Zero target— a 20-percent reduction in deaths by the end of 2017— is right around the corner, we have prioritized locations where we will be focusing our engineering, education, and enforcement strategies. The City of Los Angeles’ s Vision Zero Action Plan, informed by the findings in this report, presents our comprehensive Citywide approach to make traffic deaths obsolete by 2025.
The Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue intersection saw an average of 13 crashes per year before the installation of a scramble crosswalk in November 2015. In one year after implementation, zero pedestrian collisions have occurred at the busy intersection: a dramatic improvement.
