With GIS layers that show the hazardous corridors coupled with data about who lives there, the Vision Zero team developed strategies for improving safety for the most vulnerable road users. These include reducing speed limits, narrowing streets to slow traffic, improving visibility, and adding crosswalks. Infrastructure such as sidewalks and pedestrian islands in the median are other remedies that can protect Tampa’s growing population. The team also documents traffic volumes, traffic congestion, speed limits, crossing locations, land use, and bike lane data.
