摘要：

Purpose of Review: This review describes the principle of Vision Zero in traffic safety and its adoption into the worldwide community. The Vision Zero policy seeks to reduce fatalities and serious injuries from road traffic accidents to zero. This review aims to show how this philosophy has affected policies and prevention strategies throughout the world. Recent Findings: The Vision Zero policy has been adopted throughout Europe as well as Australia. It has recently been adopted in the USA in many major cities with preliminary encouraging results. Summary: This article defines the Vision Zero model and demonstrates how multiple countries have implemented and adapted the vision. We review its origins in Sweden with its eventual adoption within Europe, the UK, and Australia and its recent acceptance by several cities within the USA. We reflect on shortcomings, challenges, and its future directions. © 2017, Springer International Publishing AG.
