Adapted from public health, the safe systems pyramid for road safety places population-level changes like land use and infrastructure design at the bottom, having the most impact. At the very top are individual-level measures like education and enforcement.

This makes me feel crazy. Being aware of the speed limit is like step 1 for driving! "Stealing is illegal, sure, but how are people supposed to know which stores they can steal from without getting caught if the stores with anti-stealing cameras don't have giant 'NO STEALING' signs outside??"
"We’re going to be giving municipalities across the province a lot of money to put in all sorts of street calming methods"
Oh neat, like what, like maybe a proven speed-reducing treatment with the added benefit of new travel options?
