"The safe mobility strategy comes four years after then-Coun. Linda Buchanan, now the city’s mayor, won unanimous support for a motion calling on the city to become a Vision Zero municipality, a movement that seeks to reduce traffic deaths and injuries to zero by making safety the priority in designing transportation networks.

Automated speed enforcement, the euphemism better known as Photo Radar, enjoys high support among poll participants for a number of reasons including: (1) the NDP hasn't cranked up the numbers (yet) so the likelihood of receiving a ticket seems to be small, (2) people always believe automated traffic enforcement is aimed at OTHER drivers (until they themselves get a ticket - (at which point the cameras no longer enjoy the recipients' support). There's little surprising here, but lots to dissect.

"As part of its results, the study addressed the common concern that increasing the maximum speed limit from 120 to 130 km/h would be worse for the environment and would lead to more traffic victims. “But this is not the case,” said SWOV director Peter van der Knaap. “There is no clear connection with the increased speed limit.”" https://www.brusselstimes.com/all-news/world-all-news/118087/no-clear-connection-between-130-km-h-speed-limit-and-more-accidents-says-study/
