May is national bike month, and PedalSafe Roanoke is reminding everyone to share the road.

The city’s Vision Zero initiative aims to eliminate all injuries and fatalities on the roads. The plan has three components: a Safety Action Plan to reach zero deaths, a Speed Management Action Plan to address speeding, and a Transportation Bike Network to connect bike lanes.

The city is committing to zero traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2035.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Admiration reports an increase in traffic fatalities over the last two years. However, programs like Vision Zero have been adopted by cities around the country. The mission is to create safer roads for pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists.
