Helsinki's Road Safety: A Year Without Traffic Fatalities

Helsinki's Road Safety: A Year Without Traffic Fatalities

Helsinki, a city in Finland, has achieved a remarkable feat: no one died in a traffic accident in the last year.

This success comes from years of work called 'Vision Zero,' aiming to eliminate road deaths.

They've made small but important changes, like reducing speed limits on many streets and improving roads for pedestrians and cyclists.

The city also focuses on things like better traffic skills and stricter rules about alcohol and drugs for drivers.

Because of these efforts, traffic injuries and deaths have gone way down, making the city much safer for everyone.
