This makes me happy:

Road deaths in Oslo (pop. 673.000) in 2019:

Pedestrians: 0
Cyclists: 0
Children: 0

The graph shows the reduction of road deaths since 1975.

#VisionZero

To clarify, no children died in traffic anywhere in Norway (pop. 5,3 million) in 2019. That’s a first, at least since WW2.

Also, as the graph shows, there was a single lethal crash where a car driver hit a railing at a down town light rail station. That is still one too many.

Many people sharing this claim that we have reached #visionzero in Oslo. While we are making great progress, there is still a way to go to consistently keep deaths at zero for all road users.

Also, #visionzero means 0 serious injuries, where we still have a long way to go.

It you speak Norwegian fluently, and have a passion about walking, cycling, road safety and street management, there is an open position as a policy adviser at the office of the Vice Mayor for environment and transport of Oslo:
