Vision Zero Greensboro Two Year Action Plan

Developing Emphasis Areas for Vision Zero Greensboro A priority of Vision Zero is to create a safe transportation system for all users on all modes. In reviewing the fatal and serious injury crashes the data revealed the most common crash types in Greensboro. The contributing circumstances surrounding each individual crash difer according to context, and most crashes have several factors that lead to a collision. For instance, a younger inexperienced driver may depart the roadway as a result of speeding. Likewise, a driver impaired by drugs, alcohol, and/or distraction may also be susceptible to speeding and departing the roadway. Targeting a single potential cause, in these examples speeding, is insuficient to have a substantial efect on reducing fatal and serious injury crashes. The following chart further illustrates the overlap of contributing circumstances and alignment with North Carolina's SHSP. It can be read lef to right, so that each row represents an emphasis area, and each column details the overlap with other emphasis areas. For instance, 20% of roadway departure crashes occurred at an intersection, and 33% of crashes that occurred at an intersection also involved roadway departure.
