Hoboken, New Jersey, recently marked seven consecutive years without a traffic death. Officials there credit their decision to take away some street parking, a change that increases visibility for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

This is a very misleading statistic, traffic deaths are down because none is taking their car there because there is no parking. It's not because banning parking stops cars from hitting people.

Either way getting rid of the parking caused it then.
