Road deaths are not mandatory, the whole point of vision zero is zero deaths from crashes. This is actually an obtainable goal, we just have to be serious about changing the infrastructure to prevent crashes from occurring in the first place. Especially in the places they keep occurring in, as deadly crashes happen in the same places over and over. The data is clear, changing a street to be safer really does make it safer. No one should have to die or lose a loved one on a known dangerous road because "not enough other people have died yet".

Can we really prevent all road deaths from crashes? We certainly can't if we say "well maybe some deaths are ok"
