Lower speed limits, new bike lanes and sidewalks, and more speed and red light cameras are in Montgomery County’s plans to eliminate traffic-related deaths and serious injuries by 2030.
A draft Vision Zero 2030 Action Plan released on April 15 includes 45 “action” items to help reduce injuries and fatal crashes.
In the county alone, 163 people died on roadways between 2015 and 2019. Since implementing, in November 2017, the county’s first Vision Zero plan, 7,421 arrests were made for driving while impaired and more than 1.2 million citations were issued by automatic speed enforcement.
