Some may say achieving zero road fatalities is impossible. Each fatality on our roads is a human being and we believe zero fatalities is the only ambition to have.
We want to see a gradual and consistent reduction in fatalities and life changing injuries measured over five-year periods, with the aim of a 50% reduction by 2030.
Fatalities in 2022
What is vision Zero?
Vision Zero is about the commitment to reaching the target of zero road fatalities and life changing injuries by 2050. We want to see numbers drop over 5 year periods.
Why we need to reach zero
Deaths and life changing injury on the road are not an acceptable price to pay for mobility. We want Kent to feel and be safer and happier for all.
How we’re going to do it
Objectives will be met through partnership working, an evidence-led approach and by combining engineering, education and enforcement.
Creating a Safe System
Vision Zero acknowledges that people make mistakes; our aim is to ensure these mistakes do not cause a death or a life-changing injury.
