Since 2014, more than 400 people have been killed in traffic crashes in Nashville.
City officials are focused on ending roadway deaths with their draft plan called Vision Zero.
For walkers, drivers and bikers, almost 60% of fatal and serious injuries happen on just 6% of Nashville streets.
West Trinity Lane, Charlotte Avenue, Nolensville and Murfreesboro pikes have faster traffic, which is why they are the most dangerous.
In these areas, people are more vulnerable for a variety of reasons. Some residents don’t rely on cars to get around — and they also have more people with disabilities and seniors over the age of 65 living there.
The most vulnerable populations are overrepresented in traffic deaths and severe injuries.
Next year, the city is mapping a plan to extend curbs at intersections, assessing the top 25 bus stops safety challenges and getting a pedestrian crossing policy.
Nashville currently ranks 24th in traffic deaths among U.S. cities.
Nashville residents can email feedback on the first draft to [email protected] until Feb. 4. The city is also planning a virtual meeting for late January.
