Vision Zero is Actions

Safer Streets for Opa-locka

What is Vision Zero?

Vision Zero, a global road safety initiative that started in Sweden in the 1990s, aims to eliminate all traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Florida has adopted this approach, focusing on preventing accidents by redesigning roads, enforcing stricter laws, and educating the public. This commitment to safety is showing promising results in reducing traffic-related deaths across the state, underscoring the importance of prioritizing human life in traffic management.

Why does City of Opa-Locka need vision zero?

In Opa-locka, traffic crashes are preventable. By using data to understand where and why crashes happen, the City can take specific actions to eliminate these crashes from occuring.

Vision Zero: Comprehensive Safety Action Plan

The City of Opa-locka is working toward a Vision Zero goal to eliminate all traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030, and at the same time, it’s committed to improving safe, reliable, sustainable, and fair transportation for everyone. Thanks to a SS4A Action Plan Grant, Opa-locka is creating a set of innovative strategies and actions in its Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) to cut down on transportation-related fatalities and injuries, while also aligning with national safety goals. This plan will pinpoint key safety issues and outline steps to boost safety for all types of travel throughout the city.

The plan will also provide recommendations to improve both vehicle and pedestrian travel in the city’s road network, along with considering land use, public transit, freight, and other local factors to form a thorough action strategy. It will take into account federal and state rules, design standards, and performance goals, aiming for fair outcomes for everyone. The Action Plan will include input from the Opa-locka community and the City’s Vision Zero Taskforce, making sure all voices are heard.

High Crash Segments

High Injury Segments will be evaluated to determine the corridors with the highest percentage of injuries and deadly crashes.

High Injury Intersections

High Injury Intersections will be evaluated to determine which locations have the highest percentage of crashes.
