There's a lot going on, but if you're curious, I'd recommend this book:

https://www.confessions.engineer/

Not trying to sell it; borrow it from your local library like I did if you're interested. It has a lot of good discussion of these issues.

A good 'road' is something like an interstate. There are 'safe' for pedestrians because there are no pedestrians near them.

Good streets are often like old-school downtowns and nearby neighborhoods where traffic is slow.

Trying to create a hybrid 'stroad' where traffic is both fast and also there are pedestrians and cyclists is a recipe for doing neither well, and people die as a consequence.



Thanks for the recommendation. Could you elaborate on some of the issues this book goes over that factor into this particular crash besides the speed of motorists and the proximity of cyclists and pedestrians?
