Vision Zero is a project that's unable to come to terms with its own beliefs. Their stated goal is zero traffic fatalities no matter the economic cost, and yet they don't actually embrace policies that would reduce fatalities to zero. Their policies seem to merely be the same old stuff you'd see out of traditional planning, but with a little higher cost assigned to injuries and fatalities. That's good, and it plays nicely to your point that the status quo isn't always at the right balance point, but the hypocrisy is off-putting.
