Vision Zero and the Mayor’s Transport Strategy
Adopting Vision Zero ... will be central to the overall success of the
Healthy Streets Approach.
London is adopting Vision Zero for the whole transport
network. The approach is in line with TfL’s vision: Everyone home safe and healthy every day.
Minimising road danger is fundamental to the
creation of streets where everyone feels safe
walking, cycling and using public transport.
