Improving Street Designs: Use Daylighting and other similar methods to ensure pedestrians and cyclists are visible at intersections, the most dangerous part of walking and cycling. Add protected bike lanes to avoid conflict between drivers and cyclists in congested areas. Add raised pedestrian crossings, forcing drivers and cyclists to slow down before interacting with pedestrians. 

Lowering Speed Limits: Lower speed limits can significantly reduce the severity of accidents when they do happen. 

Increasing Enforcement: Traffic deaths often go unprosecuted. Increasing enforcement of traffic laws, particularly those related to speeding and impaired driving, can discourage these dangerous behaviors. 

Public Education: Raising awareness about traffic safety and promoting safe driving, walking, and cycling behaviors can lead to everyone making safer decisions on the roadways. It is important for all parties to make smart decisions when on the roads. Confused road users make dangerous road users; we must ensure everyone knows what to do at different types of intersections. 

Engaging with Communities: Involving local communities in the planning and implementation of safety measures to ensure they meet the needs of all road users. 

Safe Routes to School Education: Work in schools to show students how to get around safely without necessarily using a car (i.e. bike & pedestrian education)

Not all features are necessary on every street, but it is imperative all are considered to create a street that is safe for all.
