Vision Zero is about changing the culture. \u00a0Enforcement, education, and engineering changes will take time to translate into safer behavior. \u00a0Also, the precincts are starting at different baseline levels of enforcement and injury rates, and they\u2019re doing a lot of hard work on driver education that doesn\u2019t translate directly into tickets issued. We\u2019re tracking progress, but believe we should allow more time before we start drawing conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping in mind that the precincts are all starting from different baselines, here are the precincts that are leading the way, relative to their averages for 2012 and 2013:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Leading-2014-08.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-915\" src=\"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Leading-2014-08.jpg\" alt=\"Leading-2014-08\" width=\"840\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Leading-2014-08.jpg 840w, https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Leading-2014-08-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Leading-2014-08-619x491.jpg 619w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s our\u00a0monthly summary\u00a0of precinct-by-precinct Vision Zero progress in Queens. \u00a0Highlights: Boroughwide there have been about 2,166 ped\/cyclist injuries and fatalities so far this year, about 3.8% less than the average from the previous two years.\u00a0 Citywide, pedestrian and cyclist injuries and fatalities are down 5.6% from the average of the two previous years.\u00a0 In six [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=913"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":920,"href":"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913\/revisions\/920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/makequeenssafer.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
