1. Enhanced Infrastructure: Cities should invest in infrastructure such as safer, dedicated bike lanes and pedestrian crossings that enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety.
2. Reduce Speed Limits: Lower speed limits and traffic calming measures, such as speed bumps, could help reduce accidents and fatalities.
3. Education and Awareness: Educational through safety campaigns, for cyclists and pedestrians to become more aware of traffic rules and safety measures they can take to avoid accidents.
4. Creating Walkable Areas: Urban environments with walkable areas tend to have lower accident rates than those that are more car-centric.
5. Traffic Signals and Signage: Signage alerts drivers to areas where pedestrians and cyclists cross, turning signals or cycle slots make it clear where cyclists and cars are heading.
6. Parking Restrictions: Restriction permit parking, and fewer parking spaces on the roads could decrease the risk of accidents by giving more space for walking and cycling.
7. Improving Public Transport: Investing in robust public transport systems has the potential to reduce cars on the roads which could create a more bike and pedestrian-friendly environment.
8. Automated Vehicles: Technologies such as automated vehicles could decrease the risk of accidents by reducing human errors, speeding maintenance, and improving safety measures.
