Vision Zero operates through several key components:
1. Safe Road Design: Roads are designed to minimize the risk of severe accidents. Features include separated bike lanes, pedestrian zones, and roundabouts that reduce collision points.
2. Speed Management: Lower speed limits are enforced, especially in urban areas. Speed cameras and other technologies help in monitoring and enforcing these limits.
3. Legislation and Enforcement: Strict laws against drunk driving, distracted driving, and non-use of seat belts are implemented and rigorously enforced.
4. Public Awareness and Education: Campaigns are conducted to educate the public about safe driving practices and the consequences of risky behaviors.
5. Technology and Innovation: Advanced technologies like automated braking systems, and vehicle-to-vehicle communication are promoted to enhance road safety.
