The new Guidance and Examples to Promote Traffic Safety through Urban and Street Design by the World Resources Institute Ross Center for Sustainable Cities is now public.
Making urban travel safer is not only about health, but quality of life and creating sustainable, competitive, equitable and smart cities. Providing safe and convenient infrastructure opens up opportunities to all people. Walking and bicycling can thrive, helping curb emissions while offering active, healthy forms of transport. Mass transport can reach more people, helping cut vehicle emissions contributing to global warming and air pollution, while decreasing travel times. These solutions that benefit people also benefit the planet and economic development.This resource is available on the website (mirror also available).
