Maybe so, but I think a major problem with the discourse here is that people conflate structural issues with behavioral issues when it comes to traffic violence. It's much more emotionally satisfying and righteous to say "I am a pedestrian, and drivers out here are literally trying to kill us," when the extraordinary, overwhelming majority of people driving are just like the rest of us and just want to get where they need to go.

Poorly designed, congested, and confusing roads are a structural issue, as are routing bike lanes onto spaces shared by cars in faster-moving corridors. That shouldn't happen. At the same time, cars with thousands of dollars of tickets should be towed and impounded, and prosecution of distracted and aggressive driving should increase a hundredfold. There's not a silver bullet to the situation.
