Evaluating Traffic Safety Initiatives

The mayor's office has proposed a new initiative to improve local traffic safety. This initiative will involve creating additional bike lanes and enhancing crosswalk visibility. Proponents argue that by providing safer infrastructure, more residents will choose to bike or walk instead of driving, thereby reducing traffic congestion and accidents. Critics, however, contend that without proper education and enforcement regarding road rules, merely adding infrastructure will not significantly improve safety. They assert that the key to effective traffic safety lies in promoting responsible road use among all commuters.
