Denver's Vision Zero Statistics & Real-Time Tracking

We use the dashboard below to ensure that safety work is focused on the areas where it is most needed. We call these areas our High Injury Network. They represent the most dangerous streets and intersections that have disproportionately high rates of traffic crashes or serious bodily injury.

Using crash maps to show past problems, Vision Zero focuses on trends and patterns to proactively identify likely, future problem areas. We then determine and implement the right strategies tailored to the area to prevent severe crashes before they happen. We also use this information to identify other areas in the city with similar street design features and proactively implement these solutions citywide.

How We’re Creating Safer Streets

From planning to designing to building we are rethinking how people use our city’s streets. We are rebuilding streets to achieve Complete Streets: an approach to planning, designing, building, operating, and maintaining streets that enables safe access for all people who need to use them, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities.

What is the Safe System Approach?

The Safe System approach was founded on the principles that people make mistakes and that human bodies have limited ability to tolerate crash impacts.
This approach is a fundamental shift in how we think about and make decisions about street safety in all the work we do.

Creating Safer Streets

There are several effective strategies for reducing fatalities and serious injuries on city streets and for protecting all street users including people driving, biking, rolling, walking and taking transit. These strategies are focused on traffic calming, intersections and protection of vulnerable street users.

Safety Improvement Project Highlights

Since 2017, Denver has completed dozens of targeted safety projects. We have more than 30 active projects to improve citywide safety for everyone, whether walking, rolling, biking, driving, or taking transit.
