The city's traffic deaths decreased by only two from 2021 to 2022, but Denver's Department of Transportation & Infrastructure says it has a plan. Denver DOTI
Kuhn notes that"most fatal and serious injury crashes continue to occur on the city’s arterial roadways; these are roadways that tend to be wider and have higher posted speeds. That is consistent year to year. Behavioral factors also continue to contribute to fatal and serious injury crashes in our city. These behaviors include traveling over the speed limit, aggressive driving, disobeying traffic signals, driving under the influence and lack of seat belt use.
The department"is working to build a transportation system that recognizes humans make errors and that minimizes the potential for these errors to result in fatal and serious injuries," she continues."We are also looking for opportunities to do more from a community-wide perspective and build a culture of safety in Denver that speaks to every person, every time they get behind the wheel, and influences good driving behaviors.
