Vision Zero Knoxville

Vision Zero Knoxville Vision Zero Knoxville is a coalition to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries on local roads by 2040 through engineering, enforcement and education.

From 2016-2020, at least 1,534 traffic crashes in Knoxville caused either a fatality or serious injury, with an average of 34 fatal crashes occurring every year. 21% of these crashes involved pedestrians or bicyclists, who are especially vulnerable on the road. These tragedies cause immeasurable damage to our community. Reaching ‘Vision Zero’ requires the continued support and engagement of reside

nts, businesses, and visitors. The Vision Zero Coalition includes stakeholders from all sectors and perspectives, including City of Knoxville staff, other government agencies, community organizations, and residents. City of Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon

Thank you Knoxville Police Department for reminding residents and visitors about the importance of driving sober to keep all road users safe.

As part of an ongoing effort to prevent drunk driving and remove intoxicated drivers from the streets, KPD officers and staff conducted a sobriety checkpoint last night in the 8200 block of Kingston Pike.

The checkpoint resulted in two arrests for driving under the influence, one for public intoxication and multiple citations.

Please do your part to help keep the roads as safe as possible. Slow down, buckle up, pay attention and never get behind the wheel while under the influence.

Thanks to these community partners working to empower kids to ride bikes and scooters safely and with confidence.

The survey on Magnolia Avenue intersection improvements is still open! https://www.knoxvilletn.gov/cms/One.aspx?portalId=109562&pageId=21266490

We're excited to move ahead on safety improvements on Magnolia Avenue, funded by USDOT grants. Intersections at Cherry (shown), Hembree, and Castle streets have been identified as priorities due to a notably high incidence of severe crashes and pedestrian activity. We want to hear from neighbors, shoppers, workers and other visitors in this corridor.

• Take the survey online (link in first comment)
• Share your insights on where crossing dangers exist at these intersections.
• Help us prioritize the infrastructure improvements that will make you feel safe to walk and cross at the intersections.

Let's start planning now!
