Vision Zero is not guessing where to invest. More than half of fatal and serious injury crashes are concentrated on just 7% of Columbus streets.  The city is redesigning those corridors right now. New crosswalks. Protected bike lanes. Safer intersections. This is how we prevent the worst crashes.

Flashing Yellow Arrow signals are activated on S Hamilton Rd at Groves. Kingsland, Macsway. Eastland One, Eastland Two, I-70 EB and I-70 WB. After installation at Hilliard-Rome and Roberts Rd, we saw a 31% decrease in injury crashes in just 9 months. Vision Zero means designing safer streets!

Vision Zero Columbus was excited to be at the Rich Street Roar 4 this weekend, presented by the Columbus Division of Police, a Vision Zero partner! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to learn more. Together, we can reach zero deaths on our roads!

7 intersections on S Hamilton Rd - Groves Rd, Kinglsand Ave, Macsway Ave, Eastland One/Eastland Dr, Eastland Two, I-70 EB and I-70 WB - will soon have Flashing Yellow Arrow signals. These reduce the frequency and severity of left-turn crashes by giving drivers more opportunities to turn safely.

Slow speeds allow us to keep an eye out for Columbus kids and react faster to unpredictable movements. In a school zone, 20 is plenty. Thank you to @columbusdps crews for installing the infrastructure that gives us a physical reminder of the lives we all have a responsibility to protect.

In the last 8 months alone, there have been 6 traffic fatalities on Cleveland Ave. This public health crisis requires a community-wide solution. Vision Zero partners are working together to determine which interventions could be applied to this corridor to meet the Linden community's unique needs.

It's been nearly a month since we installed our safety test on E Livingston Ave, leading up to the high-crash intersection at Courtright Rd. Have you traveled along this area? We want to hear from you! Complete the survey on our project website at engage.columbus.gov/livingstoncourt…

A new backpack. A new grade. A whole school year ahead of them. School zones exist because the people inside them are still figuring out how the world works. They are counting on the people behind the wheel to already know. Stop for the bus. Take the extra second at the crosswalk.

611 crashes in Columbus in 2024 involved pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. People moving through their day with nothing between them & whatever was coming. We can change that. Slowing down is one of the smallest things we can do with some of the biggest impact. columbus.gov/visionzero

It's National Stop on Red Week. Failure to yield is one of the top 4 most fatal crash factors on Columbus streets. Near misses are all too familiar and easy to gloss over, but these intersections connect lives every single day. Everyone deserves a safe trip home. columbus.gov/visionzero

The ripple goes further than the crash. It reaches the office on Monday morning, the seat at the dinner table. The friends who keep checking their phone for a text that won't come. columbus.gov/visionzero

Sooo satisfying😍 Have you seen @columbusdps.bsky.social crews installing our latest safety test project at the Summit St & 4th Ave intersection? Adding crosswalks, painted curb extensions with plastic bollards and upgraded signage, is expected to reduce crashes and improve pedestrian safety.

Vision Zero partners rolling through the ribbon on the longest protected bike lane in Columbus🤩 Located on N 4th St from Warren St to Hudson St, this 2+ mile connection offers residents a safer, more comfortable and more accessible space to move through our city.

Just a few miles per hour can mean the difference between a close call and a life-changing crash. Slowing down keeps our community safe and gives everyone a chance to go home. columbus.gov/visionzero

Now complete in Linden: Sidewalk gaps have been filled along Hiawatha Park Dr from Hudson St to Silver Dr/Velma Ave, and a shared-use path provides a connection to Historic Crew Stadium and connects to the path and sidewalks @columbusdps.bsky.social constructed along Hudson St in 2023-2024.

Vision Zero partners visited a stretch of Stelzer Rd that frequently experiences fatal and serious injury crashes. Each participant brought their unique expertise to the evaluation, giving us a comprehensive look at the factors that make this road highly dangerous to develop real solutions.

Vision Zero Columbus @visionzerocbus.bsky.social · 14/07/2026
The city's longest protected bike lane is now complete!🚲 Sturdy bollards and parking separate cyclists from vehicle traffic along N. 4th Street from Warren Street to Hudson Street. Through the @columbusdps.bsky.social Bike Plus plan and Vision Zero, we are building a safer, more connected Columbus.

@columbusdps.bsky.social staff were happy to join Yay Bikes! and residents on Wednesday for a celebratory bike ride through the recently finished Indianola Ave! We are committed to building safer streets for all road users through projects like these. Grab a friend and give it a spin!🚲

In 2024, 304 crashes in Columbus were either fatal or involved a serious injury. We've all had a near miss. It's worth the effort to slow down. columbus.gov/visionzero

This 4th of July, make a plan to get home safely. Nothing can ruin holiday festivities more than going to jail, losing your license or seriously injuring yourself or others from driving under the influence.

This week, we installed a "quick build" test project at the high-crash intersection at Courtright Rd and E Livingston Ave. The materials and tools used in test projects allow us to design and install safety improvements faster than construction projects typically take.

Vision Zero Columbus @visionzerocbus.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
Before & After on our latest test project at E Livingston Ave, leading up to the high-crash intersection at Courtright Rd. We installed water barriers to close the 1000-foot right hand turn lane. By narrowing the roadway, we hope to slow drivers, reduce erratic driving behavior and reduce crashes.

Everyone deserves to make it home safely every night. Unfortunately, some people must drive through corridors that are highly dangerous.  Vision Zero is committed to transforming our transportation system to prioritize human life and health.  columbus.gov/visionzero

That fresh paint feeling😍 Work on N 4th St is still underway, with green bike lane markings and sturdy bollards getting added next! Once complete, this will be the city’s longest protected bike lane, providing 2+ miles of connectivity to other Columbus bikeways.

Someone is waiting for you to get home. Serious crashes don’t end at the curb; they ripple through families, friendships and entire neighborhoods. Slowing down protects more than your drive. columbus.gov/visionzero

Flashing Yellow Arrow signals have been activated on N Hamilton Rd at Broadview, Chillmark, Thompson and Menerey. After installation at Hilliard-Rome and Roberts Rd, we saw a 31% decrease in injury crashes in just 9 months. Vision Zero is about prioritizing lives above all else!

Vision Zero Columbus @visionzerocbus.bsky.social · 17/06/2026
Flashing Yellow Arrow signals are now live at four intersections on N Hamilton Road! These signals are proven to decrease the frequency and severity of left-turn crashes, the leading cause of serious injury and fatal crashes. Our Vision Zero Coordinator explains how to use them🚦👀

This week, Vision Zero partners walked along a dangerous and deadly stretch of Sullivant Avenue to determine what short, mid and long-term solutions can be made to improve safety. Designing safer streets takes effort from all of us!

Last month, Vision Zero attended the Ohio Traffic Safety Summit, hosted by the Ohio Department of Public Safety's Traffic Safety Office. We are grateful for opportunities like these to share ideas and best practices to save lives and prevent injuries on our roadways!

Vision Zero Columbus @visionzerocbus.bsky.social · 03/06/2026
Today, Vision Zero partners visited a stretch of Harmon Avenue that has seen a high number of serious injury and fatal crashes, and crashes involving people walking, biking or riding a motorcycle. The team evaluated the street and discussed short, mid and long-term solutions to improve safety.

Columbus city streets saw zero fatal crashes this Memorial Day weekend. Last year, there were 2 fatal crashes in May. Both took place at night during Memorial Day weekend. Zero is possible, even during one of the busiest road trip weekends in Ohio.

Most serious crashes happen on the streets we drive every day. Familiar doesn’t mean safe. Stay alert, even the routes you know by heart deserve your attention. columbus.gov/visionzero
