Except of course that pedestrian fatalities are UP since the implementation of "Vision Zero:" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-04-11/-vision-z...

Whoops.

Did you read the article?

"But signing on to Vision Zero proved to be far less difficult than adjusting policy and infrastructure to reflect the approach."

Vision Zero failed in US failed because it stayed on paper, Vizion Zero worked in Europe because those countries actually did infrastructure changes...

I did, and it did not "stay on paper." That's why the results are viewed as "perplexing." Saying it was difficult and saying it wasn't done at all are different things.

We have all kinds of "Vision Zero" bullshit in L.A., and fatalities remain high. Why? TEXTING.

Care to show regions where it was implemented in l.a. and fatalities in that regions? I just really doubt that speed bumps, artificial turns, increasing the turn angle, adapting semaphores to be before intersections and raised crosswalks have no effect. If there are no such regions that adapted these changes than vision zero stayed on paper. If such regions exist, I would be glad to research how fatalities changed after them
