Now, let’s keep that record going.
Goated Finlad. One day I’ll go visit this majestic land 😉
This should be a universal goal: reduce car speeds in cities, reduce the number of cars, introduce more trams, make the environment accessible to people with limited mobility, and design cities better. It’s unacceptable that we still tolerate road deaths when they are clearly avoidable. The Scandinavians have shown that it’s possible.
Holy shit, a whole YEAR with zero traffic deaths??
Meanwhile my city can’t go a week without someone becoming roadkill. This is what happens when you actually give a fuck about pedestrians instead of just painting some lines and calling it infrastructure.
Every US city planner should be forced to study this tbh
Finns love personal space so much even in traffic they avoid each other.
Meanwhile…Croatia…khm, khm…
So this can happen even in a period of economic decline in the country. Now imagine if the current sh****** of a government was thrown out and what could be unleashed.
For reference
About 690,000 people live in the municipality, with 1.3 million in the capital region and 1.6 million in the metropolitan area

Huge reduction of cars in the central part of the city always helps. Good effort Helsinki
This is bad for car manufacturers
> Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed of impact from 40 to 30 kilometers per hour, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.
Every time they push for more 30 km/h zones here the right-wingers absolutely lose their minds. Like, as if their freedom was under attack.
Pretty sure this is also linked to the fact that motorbikes are not popular at all compared to other european cities. But still impressive. Not complaining any more when I’m driving at ridiculously slow speeds lol.
Well, the lady in the city centre that ran the red light yesterday made a good try to run over us at least. Walking on the pedestrian path, green light for pedestrians as bonus
It’s because they dont count all the suburb areas into Helsinki but to Vantaa and Espoo which are not real cities.
There was 3 electric scooter traffic deaths which happened 12-15 kilometres away from Helsinki centre. Two of them were kids.
