“…Transportation safety leaders should take immediate action to reduce the risk of future pedestrian fatalities. For potential strategies, the U.S. should look to the approaches used in European countries and recommended by the Road to Zero Coalition ( 1, 24 ). Safety leaders should call for fundamental changes in the transportation system through combinations of roadway design, vehicle design, education, and enforcement strategies as well as complementary land use and vehicle design policies.…”

“…The Road to Zero Coalition, including dozens of cities, states, and the U.S. Department of Transportation, set a goal to reduce U.S. traffic fatalities to zero by 2050 ( 1 ). Pedestrian safety is important for this goal since pedestrians account for 16% of all U.S. traffic fatalities ( 2 ).…”

“…The Safe System Approach includes interventions targeting vehicles, roads, users, and speed limits [ 19 , 20 ]. In Benin, where traffic rules are often not followed and where the transport system includes a large number of motorcyclists (> 80%), a large portion of road safety interventions are targeted at users, with motorcyclists in particular highlighted among vulnerable road users.…”

“…A trauma database should be established as soon as possible. As described by Ecola et al., 14 through implementing effective plans and policies, improving emergency response and trauma care, strengthening safety education and publicity, speeding up the development of driving assistance technology, and forming a new safety culture, zero death could be achieved on American roads by 2050. In addition, we should call on more people to adopt green travel modes and reduce the use of motor vehicles, which would not only reduce the incidence of RTAs but also improve people’s health.…”
