Helsinki is the same size as Nashville, and they had *zero* traffic deaths last year, while we had over one hundred. Lowering vehicle speeds and building safe infrastructure save lives. Helsinki committed to doing it, while Nashville just pays lip service. The results are predictable, and in the case of Nashville, tragic.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.” https://www.politico.eu/article/helsinki-no-traffic-death-roads-eu-accident-finland-driving-transport/
