Abstract
In Norway and Sweden, road safety work is now supposed to be based on Vision Zero – a long - term vision of a road system that does not lead to fatalities or permanent injury. In this article, this safety platform is examined in some detail, and I maintain that the vision involves a redefining of actors, as well as re-allocation of roles and responsibilities in the road system, and is based on a spatial redistribution of relationships. I also argue that the moral requirements implicit in the vision rely on the work of redefining relationships between spaces and actors in the road system, rather than the other way around.
