Sure. Pedestrian deaths are above the 2015 levels in all the large West Coast cities that went full-on with the Zero Vision project. Numbers are for 2015 and 2025.

Seattle: 7/18

Portland: 11/20

LA: 130/150

SF is unchanged at 24 (they had a HUGE drop from 2024, luckily).

And no, the following excuses do not apply:

COVID - deaths started growing _before_ COVID.

Car size increase - cars did not increase significantly during this time.

Population increase - ditto.

This tracks with what's happened in my non-grid east coast city that adopted the same. Everyone has a path planner in their pocket that they mindlessly follow which takes them right around all the Vision Zero'd (TM) main roads and through everyone's neighborhood.

The assholes who sell the big plastic speed bumps they've had to put on the residential streets to slow down all the traffic they diverted onto them are making out like bandits though.

Pedestrian deaths are up all across the the US.
