U.S. pedestrian deaths reach a 40-year high

At some point, I think US cities have to just accept & own up to the fact that we have quite bad infrastructure for pedestrians.

Drawing some lines on the road isn't going to stop a 5,000lbs hunk of metal going 20mph over the speed limit from hurting you.

Walking around the city (even just a few blocks to chill and eat dinner with friends after work) is the opposite of "relaxing travel" — it's a pain in the ass.
