V I S I O N Z E R O P H L . C O M | # V I S I O N Z E R O P H L
A policy that states clearly that traffic deaths are
preventable and unacceptable.
What is Vision Zero?
CORE PRINCIPLES:
• Human life takes priority over mobility;
• Human error is inevitable and unpredictable;
• People are inherently vulnerable and speed is a fundamental predictor of crash
survival;
• Safe human behaviors, education, and enforcement are essential contributors to
a safe system.

What are sideguard panels?
Side guard panels are installed
between the wheels of large
vehicles that prevent anyone
walking or biking from being swept
under the tires of a truck after a side
impact. Side guard panels are
proven, simple, and effective
pedestrian and bicycle safety tool.
