交通事故已成为全球公共卫生的严重威胁。全球每年有超过100万人死于交通事故，是儿童和青年的主要死因1。在美国，这一问题尤为突出，平均每天有100人丧生于道路事故1。虽然美国交通死亡率曾从1930年代的每10万人30.8人下降，但过去十年内行人死亡事件的上升令人担忧1。
为了扭转这一趋势，以Vision Zero Network为代表的组织正在推动交通安全政策的改革1。该组织由Leah Shahum创立并担任主任1，通过降低速限和改善基础设施等措施，在多个城市取得了显著成果。霍博肯市自2017年以来实现零交通死亡1，而加拿大埃德蒙顿市在2015至2020年间将交通死亡率降低了63%，严重伤害事件也减少了40%1。这些案例表明，通过有针对性的政策干预，交通死亡是可以被控制的。
Traffic accidents claim over one million lives annually worldwide and represent a leading cause of death among children and young people.1 In the United States alone, approximately 100 people die in traffic incidents each day.1 While the nation's traffic fatality rate has declined significantly from 30.8 deaths per 100,000 people in the 1930s, recent years have witnessed a troubling rise in pedestrian deaths.1
Organizations such as the Vision Zero Network, founded and directed by Leah Shahum, are driving policy reforms to reverse this trend through interventions including speed limit reductions and infrastructure improvements.1 These efforts have already demonstrated measurable success in several communities. Hoboken, New Jersey has recorded zero traffic deaths since 2017, while Edmonton, Canada reduced its traffic fatality rate by 63 percent between 2015 and 2020, with serious injuries declining by 40 percent during the same period.1
