[2025-08-02] “Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year”. How? • Most important factor: speed limits: “the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed of impact from 40 to 30 km/h” • Traffic calming measures (narrower roads, trees, etc.) slowed down drivers. • Improvements to the pedestrian and cycling infrastructure helped “reduce car use and, with it, the number of serious accidents.” https://www.politico.eu/article/helsinki-no-traffic-death-roads-eu-accident-finland-driving-transport/
