The Safe System Approach is based on the following five elements: SAFER ROADS Design roadway environments to mitigate human mistakes and account for injury tolerances, to encourage safer behaviors, and to facilitate safe travel by the most vulnerable users. SAFER SPEEDS Promote safer speeds in all roadway environments through a combination of thoughtful, equitable, context-appropriate roadway design, appropriate speed-limit setting, targeted education, outreach campaigns, and enforcement. SAFER PEOPLE Encourage safe, responsible driving and behavior by people who use our roads and create conditions that prioritize their ability to reach their destination unharmed. SAFER VEHICLES Expand the availability of vehicle systems and features that help to prevent crashes and minimize the impact of crashes on both occupants and non-occupants. POST-CRASH CARE Enhance the survivability of crashes through expedient access to emergency medical care, while creating a safe working environment for vital first responders and preventing secondary crashes through robust traffic incident management practices. Through improvements in these five areas, the goal of zero fatalities and life-altering injuries from car crashes can be achieved. The Safe System Approach guiding principles and elements are reflected in the West Orange Vision Zero Action Plan. WEST ORANGE TOWNSHIP: VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN 19
