| dc.description | This policy brief outlines the global and national context of traffic fatalities, focusing on excessive speed as a primary risk factor for vulnerable road users. The document explains that low speed zones—delimited areas with reduced speed limits combined with urban redesign elements like road narrowing—effectively reduce the likelihood and severity of traffic crashes. By analyzing global implementations and municipal data from Brazil and the United Kingdom, the summary demonstrates that these zones improve pedestrian safety, lower environmental emissions, and stimulate local economies. | en |
