The ripple goes further than the crash. It reaches the office on Monday morning, the seat at the dinner table. The friends who keep checking their phone for a text that won't come. https://columbus.gov/visionzero

Sooo satisfying😍 Have you seen @columbusdps.bsky.social crews installing our latest safety test project at the Summit St & 4th Ave intersection? Adding crosswalks, painted curb extensions with plastic bollards and upgraded signage, is expected to reduce crashes and improve pedestrian safety.

Speed isn't just a number. https://columbus.gov/visionzero

Just a few miles per hour can mean the difference between a close call and a life-changing crash. Slowing down keeps our community safe and gives everyone a chance to go home. columbus.gov/visionzero

The data tells us exactly where people are most at risk in this city. Vision Zero Columbus is using that information to build safer streets where they are needed most. columbus.gov/visionzero

Vision Zero partners visited a stretch of Stelzer Rd that frequently experiences fatal and serious injury crashes. Each participant brought their unique expertise to the evaluation, giving us a comprehensive look at the factors that make this road highly dangerous to develop real solutions.

The city's longest protected bike lane is now complete!🚲 Sturdy bollards and parking separate cyclists from vehicle traffic along N. 4th Street from Warren Street to Hudson Street. Through the @columbusdps.bsky.social Bike Plus plan and Vision Zero, we are building a safer, more connected Columbus.

@columbusdps.bsky.social staff were happy to join Yay Bikes! and residents on Wednesday for a celebratory bike ride through the recently finished Indianola Ave! We are committed to building safer streets for all road users through projects like these. Grab a friend and give it a spin!🚲

@columbusdps.bsky.social Director Scocco presented about Vision Zero at MORPC’s Mobility Exchange, describing the department’s priority to embed safety in every transportation infrastructure project, emphasizing the importance of being unapologetic about the commitment to save lives on our roadways.

In 2024, 304 crashes in Columbus were either fatal or involved a serious injury. We've all had a near miss. It's worth the effort to slow down. columbus.gov/visionzero

This 4th of July, make a plan to get home safely. Nothing can ruin holiday festivities more than going to jail, losing your license or seriously injuring yourself or others from driving under the influence.

This week, we installed a "quick build" test project at the high-crash intersection at Courtright Rd and E Livingston Ave. The materials and tools used in test projects allow us to design and install safety improvements faster than construction projects typically take.

Before & After on our latest test project at E Livingston Ave, leading up to the high-crash intersection at Courtright Rd. We installed water barriers to close the 1000-foot right hand turn lane. By narrowing the roadway, we hope to slow drivers, reduce erratic driving behavior and reduce crashes.

Everyone deserves to make it home safely every night. Unfortunately, some people must drive through corridors that are highly dangerous.  Vision Zero is committed to transforming our transportation system to prioritize human life and health.  columbus.gov/visionzero

That fresh paint feeling😍 Work on N 4th St is still underway, with green bike lane markings and sturdy bollards getting added next! Once complete, this will be the city’s longest protected bike lane, providing 2+ miles of connectivity to other Columbus bikeways.

Fatal crashes aren't accidents. They're preventable and unacceptable. columbus.gov/visionzero

Someone is waiting for you to get home. Serious crashes don’t end at the curb; they ripple through families, friendships and entire neighborhoods. Slowing down protects more than your drive. columbus.gov/visionzero

Flashing Yellow Arrow signals have been activated on N Hamilton Rd at Broadview, Chillmark, Thompson and Menerey. After installation at Hilliard-Rome and Roberts Rd, we saw a 31% decrease in injury crashes in just 9 months. Vision Zero is about prioritizing lives above all else!

Flashing Yellow Arrow signals are now live at four intersections on N Hamilton Road! These signals are proven to decrease the frequency and severity of left-turn crashes, the leading cause of serious injury and fatal crashes. Our Vision Zero Coordinator explains how to use them🚦👀

Every empty chair tells a story. Traffic crashes leave lasting gaps in families and communities. Slow down—for the people waiting on you. columbus.gov/visionzero

Vision Zero is creating the conditions to get everyone across the street safely.  columbus.gov/visionzero

Have you seen construction on N 4th St? We're building the city's longest protected bike lane! Read more about the new design:

Construction begins for longest proposed protected bike lane in Columbus on North 4th Street

Construction will begin on Monday on a protected bike lane on North 4th Street from Italian Village through University District. The new design moves the bikeway against the curb and is physically protected by street parking.
