You often hear the phrase “safety is our number one priority” in our industry, but today on Highways Voices we hear from people who're putting money where their mouth is, as we talk Vision Zero in Oxfordshire.As the county hosts a road safety event in Oxford city centre this week, we chat to Andy Ford, Road Safety Manager at Oxfordshire County Council's Fire and Rescue Service and Councillor Andrew Gant, Oxfordshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Transport Management.Subscribe to Highways Voices free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts or Pocket Casts and never miss an episode!We explore how Oxfordshire is turning the Vision Zero principle, that no death or serious injury is acceptable, into action. From speed limit reforms and data-driven education campaigns to the integration of enforcement technology and community-led design. You'll hear how Oxfordshire uses a whole-system approach, from junction redesign to behavioural education to transform road safety in Oxfordshire, and how they took the people with them by engaging on speed limits and active travel schemes… and that emerging enforcement and detection technologies are reshaping driver accountability and changing cultural attitudes toward road safety.By the way, Highways News is heading to Australia next and the ITS Australia Summit on Queensland's Gold Coast and I'll be reporting from there, thanks to the support of our friends at TRL, Westcotec, TomTom, NGIS, AGD Australia and Nicander and IntegrateITS.

The B.C. government is considering changes to the province's graduated driver's licensing program next year to eliminate the second road test to get a full Class 5 licence. That means new drivers would not need to take a second road test to get rid of their 'N' decal. B.C. Conservative and Richmond Centre MLA Hon Chan, the opposition critic for ICBC, says eliminating the second test would make roads less safe. He joins the show alongside Vision Zero volunteer Mihai Cirstea.

In this episode of Project EDWARD Goes Global, host Harrison Keasey visits Helsinki, a city long celebrated as a model for Vision Zero success. Joined by Dr. Igor Radun, a traffic psychology researcher, and Roni Utriainen, a traffic engineer for the City of Helsinki, the discussion explores how Finland's capital achieved a full year without a single road fatality, and what lessons can be learned from that achievement.The guests reflect on the many factors behind safer roads, from lower speed limits and improved cycling infrastructure to strong public transport and long-term policy commitment. Yet, recent tragedies highlight how fragile progress can be. Together, they examine how randomness, data interpretation, and the political climate all influence road safety.Ultimately, the conversation underscores that while Vision Zero provides a powerful framework, maintaining safety demands constant vigilance, evidence-based action, and collaboration across every level of society.Find out more about Project EDWARD here.Welcome to the Project EDWARD Podcast, where we explore data-driven actions for safe mobility.

It seemed like we had turned a corner on making cycling a true equal partner when it comes to road share, but like a lot of progressive policy now we're in the midst of a blowback. The Ontario government voted to tear out bike lanes last year, and now they have their sights set on pulling down all automated speed enforcement cameras. Perhaps, the time is right for the a new kind of Guelph mayor... A Bicycle Mayor! Just a few weeks ago there was another cycling fatality on the roads of Guelph, a 37-year-old man had been riding his bike near Elmira and Massey when he was killed after being struck by a garbage truck. It's getting dangerous out there, and while we have the City of Guelph's Vision Zero initiative trying to make an impact, people are still being killed and injured on our streets in vehicle collisions. Perhaps then this is the perfect time for a Bicycle Mayor! Andrea Bidgood has been a part of  various community building initiatives, and now, as the Bicycle Mayor, she will next take part in the Guelph Transportation Summit next week. As one of the featured speakers, Bidgood will talk about the ways that transit and cycling work together to create attractive alternatives to our car-centric streets, but first, she will face the tough questions on this podcast! Bidgood will talk about the role of Bicycle Mayor, why she wanted to wear that hat, and how her own personal experiences with on the mean streets of Guelph as a cyclists made her want to be more active. She will also talk about the different cycling demands across the city, why she leads from the idea of safety first, whether the onus for road safety is put on the backs of cyclists more than car drivers, and what role the Bicycle Mayor might have when we elect the actual mayor next year. So let's catch up with the Bicycle Mayor on this week's edition of the Guelph Politicast!  You can follow Andrea Bidgood on Instagram and you can subscribe to her newsletter on Substack. You can learn more about the Guelph Community for Active Transportation at their website, and the Guelph Transportation Summit will take place on Saturday October 18 at 10 am at Dublin Street United Church.

Walk & Roll to School: The Positive Environmental and Health Impacts Guests: Stephen Heiny, research associate, Highway Safety Research Center, University of North Carolina (UNC), and Ishaa Gadkari, State Physical Activity Coordinator, RI Department of Health - Healthy Eating and Active Living Program (HEAL). In 1969, 48 percent of students in grades K-8 walked or rode a bike to school. In 2017, only 11 percent of students in grades K-8 eight walked or rode bikes to school. Research studies identify safety concerns as the primary reason for the decrease. Safety considerations include traffic volume and speed, sidewalk and crosswalk infrastructure, incidents of crime and levels of policing. In this episode, we talk about how to redesign community environments in ways that support safe routes to school and events like the National Walk & Roll to School Day, an annual October event. We also discuss the environmental and health benefits of walking to school. Stephen Heiny joins us from the Highway Safety Research Center. He focuses on youth active travel safety, Vision Zero and the Safe System approach, supporting safety efforts in North Carolina and across the United States. He evaluates speed reduction countermeasures, provides technical assistance for Safe Routes to School programs and supports the annual Walk, Bike & Roll to School Day events. Ishaa Gadkari joins us from the RI Department of Health. As the State Physical Activity Coordinator, she directs the Healthy Eating and Active Living Program (HEAL).

Hey folks, I know I promised real show notes, but it turns out that was a lie. I find these hard to do and so far the feedback I've gotten on show notes is that no one reads these things anyway. You read this thing? Shoot me a message (matt(at)grandparade(dot)news, first one to do so gets one month's free subscription to the paper. That said, if you're looking for the text of the amendment I've suggested for emails-to-councillors purposes, here it is from the script: And I think it's as simple as amending clause 21 from quote (1) Staff shall prepare a traffic calming plan for each project on the annual proposed implementation list and shall consider the physical characteristics of each street. End quote to read quote (1) Staff shall prepare an evidence based traffic calming plan in line with Intergrated Mobility Plan and/or Vision Zero's and/or HalifaACT's desired outcomes for each project on the annual proposed implementation list and shall align council priorities and the physical characteristics of each street when trying to determine how to reduce the danger of car traffic.

When you are driving in Minneapolis, you may get a speeding ticket without even getting pulled over by police. The city has announced the installation of speeding cameras at five intersections around the city. Eventually there could be more than 40 of these cameras. They are part of the city's Vision Zero plan, aimed at reducing traffic accidents. Vision Zero coordinator Ethan Fawley joins MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the new program.

This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko tackle three pressing issues shaping public safety and traffic policy in Canada. They begin with Vancouver's proposed 30 km/h speed limit on side streets, part of the Vision Zero push. Paul questions its practicality and lack of enforcement, while Kyla explains why speed isn't the only factor in pedestrian safety—driver behavior is key. Next, they examine the Hinkson Report, released in response to the Lapu-Lapu Day tragedy. The report offers immediate recommendations to protect public events from vehicle attacks. Kyla and Paul weigh in on the logistics, funding, and feasibility of the proposals. Finally, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week is a Saskatoon man who stole a taxi, robbed a store, and fled in a cube van. The police chase ended safely, but the case is a cautionary tale about impaired decisions and their legal fallout.

The conversation around transportation in Denver can often feel like two steps forward, one step back. RTD built out a massive network of light rail lines thirty years ago, but now thousands of Denverites have abandoned the trains. Our elected officials talk a lot about ending traffic fatalities, but hesitate on making transformative changes to our streets. For almost ten years, Nate Minor has reported on Denver's unique transportation quandaries and challenges, driving the conversation on everything from RTD to bike lanes. But now he's leaving town for a job in Minnesota. So he's back on with host Bree Davies one last time to look back and share a few predictions. Nate mentioned Mayor Johnston's comments on transportation on our show back in February. For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

Cities across America have been trying — and mostly failing — to achieve Vision Zero for more than a decade. But is it really time to trade the goal of ending road deaths and serious injuries for the aim of reducing them 30 percent by 2030? And would we be better positioned to eliminate the other 70 percent of fatalities if we made that strategic shift, or not?  Today on the Brake, we sit down with the presdient of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, David Harkey, to talk about his organization's pivot to push for a five-year full-court press on traffic violence, and why he doesn't believe that means giving up on ending road deaths overall. And along the way, Kea presses him to examine what strategies would really rise to the surface if we set a tighter time horizon for more modest road safety gains, and why we have to sweat our strategy when it comes to saving lives.

The Portland Bureau of Transportation is falling short of meeting some of its safety goals, according to a new city audit. Vision Zero is an international effort to completely eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The city of Portland adopted this philosophy in 2016, and while traffic deaths declined soon after, in 2021 they reached the highest they’ve been in the past three decades at 64. In 2023, those numbers are expected to be even higher, with early data standing at around 69 deaths. KC Jones is the audit services director for Portland. He joins us to share the details of the new audit. Dylan Rivera is the public information officer for PBOT. He also joins us to share the changes the agency will be making in response and the challenges of reaching Vision Zero.
