The author of this article focuses on the politicization and ideological work aimed at constraining, governing, and managing citizens in connection with the Swedish Road Traffic Safety campaign called Vision Zero. Vision Zero was initiated in 1997 and has since been the official Swedish policy, as well as been disseminated by authorities in other countries, including Austria, Australia, Germany, Ireland, and Switzerland. The long-term goal of Vision Zero is that no one will be killed or seriously injured within the Swedish road transport system. The plan provides an image of the desirable future where no one is punished for making simple mistakes in traffic. The author discusses the different representations of the quantitative dimensions in Vision Zero, covering knowledge areas such as anatomy, management, mechanics, psychology, and politics
