GoKawiilHoboken, NJ marks seven years without a traffic fatality
Hoboken, New Jersey has recorded no traffic deaths since 2017, a result credited to expanded public transit investment, wider curbs for walkability, and camera data used to redesign crash-prone intersections. Officials note that proving an intersection's danger before acting on it remains a persistent obstacle, even in a success story. A similarly sharp improvement occurred in Edmonton, Alberta, which cut traffic fatalities by 63% and serious injuries by 40% between 2015 and 2020 through speed limit changes and crosswalk signal upgrades.
