While these agencies have collaborated in the past, Lurie’s order mandates a higher level of coordination and requires senior leaders from each department to meet regularly to align their strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie framed the city’s initiative as a more aggressive implementation of the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.ots.ca.gov/the-safe-system/\">Safe System\u003c/a>” approach, of which zero deaths on the roads is the goal. Lurie said the policy directs streets to be built to handle human error, managing vehicle speeds so that common mistakes don’t become fatal tragedies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Too often, traffic injuries are the result of predictable patterns and preventable conditions,” Lurie said. “This initiative will make streets safer for everyone … In San Francisco, safety is non-negotiable.”[aside postID=news_12058605 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/RS40878_001_KQED_MarketStCarFree_01232020_8469-qut-1020x680.jpg']However, some transportation experts and advocates have questioned whether a Safe System approach, the official strategy for roadway safety in the U.S., goes far enough to end traffic violence. One oft-cited concern is the idea of “\u003ca href=\"https://usa.streetsblog.org/2024/02/26/why-safe-systems-are-not-enough-to-end-road-violence\">shared responsibility\u003c/a>” on the road for all users, a key pillar of the approach, which critics have said obscures the main causes of traffic crashes — such as speeding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we actually want to save lives and reduce crashes, then we need to really put the spotlight on who has disproportionate power to save lives,” David Zipper, a senior fellow at the MIT Mobility Initiative, told KQED earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, the city has addressed the issue of speeding through the expansion of electronic enforcement. Earlier this year, San Francisco became the first city in California to launch \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058605/sf-speed-cameras-are-issuing-tons-of-tickets-and-slowing-drivers-sfmta-says\">automated speed cameras\u003c/a>. Early data from the pilot program shows a 78% reduction in speeding vehicles at camera locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christopher White, executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, said the shift toward automated enforcement is critical for protecting cyclists and pedestrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact is that officers cannot be everywhere all the time,” White told KQED. “Having the consistency of automated speed enforcement and automated red light enforcement has had such an impact … We want to see it expanded throughout the city, and I think that the mayor’s initiative is going to give a lot of power behind that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12040819\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12040819\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traffic safety advocates from Walk San Francisco, Families for Safe Streets, and the Vision Zero Coalition gather on the steps of San Francisco City Hall on May 19, 2025, to demand the adoption of a new Vision Zero policy by July 30.

So far, in 2025, the city has seen 16 pedestrian fatalities in traffic crashes — 23 total deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A primary task within the first 100 days of this directive is to confirm and publish the 2025 High Injury Network — the map of the specific streets where the vast majority of severe crashes occur. Once confirmed, the city is tasked with identifying a priority list of “quick-build” projects, which use paint and physical barriers to rapidly improve safety in high-risk areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within six months, the working group is required to release a Traffic Enforcement Strategy Report identifying the top crash-causing behaviors to target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For advocates who have spent years pushing for safer streets, the directive represents a hopeful, yet overdue, step.

One oft-cited concern is the idea of “\u003ca href=\"https://usa.streetsblog.org/2024/02/26/why-safe-systems-are-not-enough-to-end-road-violence\">shared responsibility\u003c/a>” on the road for all users, a key pillar of the approach, which critics have said obscures the main causes of traffic crashes — such as speeding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we actually want to save lives and reduce crashes, then we need to really put the spotlight on who has disproportionate power to save lives,” David Zipper, a senior fellow at the MIT Mobility Initiative, told KQED earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, the city has addressed the issue of speeding through the expansion of electronic enforcement. Earlier this year, San Francisco became the first city in California to launch \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058605/sf-speed-cameras-are-issuing-tons-of-tickets-and-slowing-drivers-sfmta-says\">automated speed cameras\u003c/a>. Early data from the pilot program shows a 78% reduction in speeding vehicles at camera locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christopher White, executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, said the shift toward automated enforcement is critical for protecting cyclists and pedestrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact is that officers cannot be everywhere all the time,” White told KQED. “Having the consistency of automated speed enforcement and automated red light enforcement has had such an impact … We want to see it expanded throughout the city, and I think that the mayor’s initiative is going to give a lot of power behind that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12040819\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12040819\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250519-VISIONZEROACTIVISM-15-BL-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traffic safety advocates from Walk San Francisco, Families for Safe Streets, and the Vision Zero Coalition gather on the steps of San Francisco City Hall on May 19, 2025, to demand the adoption of a new Vision Zero policy by July 30.
