History

Historical Context

Sweden's Vision Zero initiative, introduced by Parliament in 1997, aimed to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries. This approach influenced the UK, where Transport for London reported over 10,000 injuries from 2022 to 2025, including 471 at Waterloo station. By adopting similar strategies, London seeks to reduce injuries significantly by 2041, reflecting a global commitment to urban road safety.
