Are road traffic crashes really just about driver behavior?
Or are they influenced by engineering?
The way roads are designed such as lane width, speed limits, intersections, lighting, pedestrian access , all shape how people drive.
When infrastructure encourages speed, conflict, and poor visibility, crashes become more likely.
But when engineering prioritizes safety, human mistakes don’t have to become fatal.
Road safety isn’t just about better drivers.
It’s about better systems.
That’s the thinking behind Vision Zero means designing roads that protect people, even when mistakes happen.
Because prevention should always be stronger than reaction.
