You can always count on people to be irresponsible, selfish, and reckless.
So yeah its bad road design to count on people to be safe, when they just aren’t.
It’s true, people are irresponsible and reckless. Cars do have safety features, and actually they’re designed to be easy to drive and brake as needed. The problem isn’t the cars or the roads, it’s the people behind the wheel. Driving requires attentiveness and courtesy, two things that apparently no longer exist in human beings.
Driving requires courtesy and attention, but overreliance on cars make people the opposite.
People get frustrated driving in traffic, causing them to be rude and agressive.
Meanwhile if driving is the only way to get around, even for easily distracted people or busy or whatever, they are not going to pay proper attention. Safety features like blind spot detection and automatic crash avoidance just make people pay even less attention.
You say the problem isn’t cars, but it is because in america cars are the only way to get around for most trips.
If you make other options more conpelling or faster, than these problems are less severe for those left on the road.
