Towards Vision Zero: Traffic Safety in Helsinki
Roni Utriainen, Traffic Engineer at the City of Helsinki, presented the city’s ambitious approach to traffic safety and its journey toward Vision Zero. Helsinki’s Traffic Safety Development Programme 2022–2026 outlines key measures that reduce speed, prioritise pedestrians and cyclists, enhance accessibility, and redesign streets as places for people rather than for vehicles.
This presentation formed part of the second Re-Value Expert Exchange on “Streets for Living”, showcasing how evidence-based policy, thoughtful street design, and systemic interventions can transform mobility culture in European cities. The Re-Value Expert Exchanges are online learning events organised by ICLEI Europe to inspire and build capacity as part of the EU-funded Re-Value project.
