WHY SPEED MATTERS
JULY 2016
20MPH
HIT BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT:
9 out of 10 pedestrians survive
20MPH
30MPH
HIT BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT:
5 out of 10 pedestrians survive
30MPH
40MPH
HIT BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT:
Only 1 out of 10 pedestrians survives
The average car trip in Seattle is 3.5 miles.
Reducing the speed limit from 35 to 30 mph will
add about a minute to this trip (or 17 seconds per mile), assuming free
flowing traffic
2 MINUTESTime it takes to travel one mile
at 30 mph
1 MINUTE,43 SECONDS
Time it takes to travel one mile
at 35 mph
A driver’s field of vision increases as speed decreases. At lower speeds, drivers can see more of their surroundings and have more time to see and react to potential hazards.
Speed is especially lethal for vulnerable users like pedestrians and people biking. The risk of injury and death increases as speed increases.
SAFER STREETS FO R SEA TTLE
We should not accept death as a byproduct of
commuting. It’s time to slow down to the
speed of life.

NeighborhoodGreenway
GREENWAY DESIGN ELEMENTS
Speed Humps• Slow motorists and people riding bikes• Reduce cut-through traffic
Safer Crossings at Busy Streets• Easier for seniors and children to cross• Make motorists aware of people walking
and biking
Wayfinding• Identify the street as a Neighborhood
Greenway so people know what to expect• Point the way to neighborhood
destinations like parks, businesses, and other greenways
Slower Speeds and Stop Signs• Calm traffic entering and crossing the
greenway• Drivers are better able to stop and
prevent collisions
Spot Repairs of Streets and Sidewalks• Safer for you and your family to walk and
ride bikes• Help people in wheelchairs or with strollers
Neighborhood Activation• Promote and activate public spaces• Provide opportunity for greenery, parklets,
and public spaces outside your door
