"#pedestrians have been "pushed to the margins of the #road networks" forcing them to "jostle for space with #motor #vehicles".
The price is paid in lives.
Officially pedestrians account for roughly a fifth of #roadDeaths, but independent studies cited by Tiwari estimate the share is closer to 30-40%."

Big US‑style trucks are killing more pedestrians in Australia – our research proves it
"We know vehicles on Australian roads are getting progressively bigger: more protective of their own occupants, but potentially more dangerous to those outside them. Here’s what we found:
every additional 100 kg of vehicle weight was associated with a 6% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality regulation
every additional 10 cm of height was associated with an 11% increase in the odds of pedestrian fatality
utes and US-style pick-up trucks were associated with around 60% higher pedestrian fatality risk than conventional passenger cars
the relationship was even stronger in lower-speed environments. "
The psychology behind Australia’s love affair with big cars >>

It seems City of Edinburgh Council have realised paving over a drain isn’t the smartest idea.

“More than half of all road deaths are people who aren't even in a car – they are walking, cycling or riding a motorcycle. When roads are designed as if only car drivers matter, these people are left dangerously exposed,” said Dr Etienne Krug Director of the Department of Health Determinants, Promotion and Prevention at WHO. “We know what works – strong laws and enforcement, safe infrastructure and vehicles with particular attention to lowering speed and addressing impaired driving. This declaration means we must all go further and faster.”

Autobahnspaziergang
Am 10. November 2019 war der Autobahnanschluss "Olsberg" der A46 fertiggestellt, aber noch nicht eröffnet.
Zahlreiche Olsberger nutzten die Möglichkeit, sich zu Fuß einen Eindruck des Bauwerks zu machen.

Motorised bikes
First they put e-bikes on the market, then it is a long wait for regulation of illegal high-powered 'motorbikes' on shared pathways and beaches.There has been "...alleged antisocial and criminal behaviour involving a group of youths riding e-bikes in the Moonee and North Sapphire Beach areas."
"The claims echo concerns being raised in communities right across the state. For many locals, the issue isn’t just legality. It’s safety on shared pathways residents once felt confident using every day." >>

From Car and Driver:
"A new study conducted by the New York Times shows that the increase in vehicle hood height seen over the last two and a half decades, mainly due to the rise in popularity of large SUVs and trucks, has resulted in several thousand deaths that otherwise may not have happened. Specifically, the study shows that while automakers and regulators have focused on occupant safety, they have turned a blind eye to pedestrian safety, which has fallen since around 2009."

Indeed, going to a mass event like the soccer matches currently somewhere in the US is best done by foot or public transport.
Look at the ridiculous parking they made around the stadium. I assume it can't be used now with all those orange pedestrians around.
