Quebec Sees Deterioration in Road Safety Record
In Quebec, one person dies on the roads every day. In an effort to prevent such tragedies, the province is looking to Sweden for inspiration, where an ambitious plan has led to a 21% decrease in road fatalities over the past 10 years. However, Quebec’s ambitions are being hindered by a car-centric culture.
According to reports, the province is seeking to improve its road safety record by drawing from Sweden’s example. The Swedish plan has achieved significant results, with a notable reduction in road deaths. In contrast, Quebec’s road safety record continues to deteriorate, prompting concerns and calls for action.
The prevalence of a car-dominated culture in Quebec is cited as a major obstacle to improving road safety in the province. As Quebec strives to reduce the number of road fatalities, it remains to be seen whether the province can successfully adopt a more sustainable and safe approach to transportation.
