“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death

That piece of cherry picked statistics was followed by a traffic fatality about a month later.

Mm-hmm. There was a pedestrian death in June, and a deadly car accident in August. Plus several cases of pedestrians struck and hospitalized, at least one bicycle accident leading to death, and numerous incidents involving e-scooters where people have been badly injured. All that this year. @[email protected]
