Its honestly very impressive. By comparison, the city of St. Louis has about half as many people living in the city proper (300k vs 600k), and we had like 25 pedestrian deaths from cars alone in 2024. That doesnt even factor in bikes that were hit by cars and caused fatalities, or cars that hit cars and caused fatalities. Or the many vehicles that seemed to find their way into the sides of buildings (especially the cop cars) last year
Im assuming they mean Helsinki proper, rather than the metro. If they mean the metro area then it is about half the size of St. Louis (1.5M vs 3M). But that would be insane to have a metro of 1.5M people go without a single traffic death in a year

I have no idea why you are taking downvotes. Thought it was a good St. Louis reference.
It totally is. I gave him an upvote because I am also from Missouri. Toasted ravioli is one of the greatest inventions of mankind.
