I didn't read his post saying that you should not try. I read it as in the zero objective is an imposibility. I went to your link and read that in Sweden, their various safety efforts have reduced fatalities by 50%.

What came to mind when I read the post was some recent studies that showed that simply reducing speed did not correlate to lower accidents. In fact, the recent Hamilton study, 2010 I believe, that has been posted here on this blog showed that speed was a major factor in the vast minority of cases.

What is required is a global approach. Look at the areas where there is danger and try and reduce the danger. Is there some rash of fatal accidents on side streets in Hamilton? I thought the data showed that the vast majority of accidents, and fatal accidents in particlular, occured on major arteries. Are we asking that those arteries be slowed down to 30k?
