Safer People

Studies on traffic safety have concluded that over 90% of traffic crashes are the result of human errors and unsafe behaviors. This includes speeding, running red lights and stop signs, intoxicated traveling (driving, biking and walking), distraction and inattention. The Vision Zero actions related to safer people are focused on enhancing enforcement and education programs.

Look for Safety Program


Walkers may have noticed new “Look for Safety” street markings at crosswalks to remind people to “look” before crossing the street. Vision Zero 2020 partners with the City of Fremont Recreation Services Youth Service Corps to paint these innovative street markings at busy intersections throughout the city.
