Overview
- The five‑year Vision Zero 2 plan targets eliminating deaths and serious injuries by 2041 and sets an interim goal to cut those killed or seriously injured by 65% by 2035.
- TfL proposes making 20mph the default on central and inner London roads by 2035 and lowering speeds on key Red Routes, alongside more junction upgrades and crossings.
- Enforcement steps include adding at least 20 safety‑camera sites and trialling AI cameras to detect offences such as handheld phone use and seatbelt breaches.
- TfL will build an evidence base on large SUVs after research cited shows a higher fatality risk to people walking and cycling, including a 77% higher risk for children, and it acknowledges current data gaps on SUV involvement in crashes.
- City Hall says no SUV charges have been decided, as industry groups warn against penalising vehicle size and campaigners point to precedents in Paris and Cardiff for larger‑vehicle fees.
