The lack of safety is because we can't get shitty drivers off the road because there is no other feasible way to get around much of NA. Even taking licenses away doesn't do much because people will drive without them due to necessity.
We can't get start imposing more barriers until we provide alternatives. I.e. usable transit, usable bike infrastructure, abolishing euclidean zoning. Until that is done, people all but have to drive to get around.
