Today I met with officials in Helsinki, which has had a ~75% drop in road deaths over the last thirty years (including recent years with no ped/cyclist deaths at all).
Me: “How much of a role has IT played in reducing crashes?”
City official: “Zero. We simply slowed down cars.” – at Helsinki, Finland

Amsterdam wasn’t always Amsterdam. It chose to become Amsterdam, and transformed itself into Amsterdam.
Your city can choose too.
