People aren't really ready or want safe streets and all the infrastructure changes that this requires. They just want other "bad" drivers off the roads. It's the "I'm a good driver syndrome", we are all good drivers in our own eyes and its the others that are doing something wrong.

"Why should my drive be inconvenience with these safety designs, we just need to get rid of bad drivers".

But that not how safety works, if we want people to drive in a certain way we need to ingrain that in the actual infrastructure so that laws and enforcement can actually be reflected in the design of the road/street.

And that not even addressing the question of why there are so many drivers in the first place. Which begs us to ask, should we looking at choices for mobility shifting where possible, as a way of providing options and reduce the amount of trips done/requiring a car?

This are the questions we need to be asking, especially around our southern urban center and mayor transit corridors.
