FOUND: A year with zero deaths on its streets how helsinki became a world reference for road safety | Mind Blowing Facts

Some 40 years, Finland´s capital started to design new solutions to reduce deadly road accidents - and then eventually eliminate them. Those efforts have now paid off. 12 consecutive months without a single road death were recorded between 2024 and 2025. By comparison, during a similar period 31 people -including drivers, pedestrians, bikers or cyclists- died on the streets of Paris. By the time of the filming of this report, another nine consecutive months had passed without a single road death in Helsinki.
