Traffic Safety
Traffic safety refers to the methods and measures used to prevent road users from being killed or seriously injured. City traffic engineers create plans to account for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and people using public transportation.
Using the Safe System approach, the City prioritizes proven safety countermeasures such as setting appropriate speed limits, enhancing crosswalk visibility, improving lighting and adding traffic calming safety improvements.
