Finland has virtually no pedestrian/cyclist fatalities in their roads. In 2018, Canada had 332.

Reduce enforcement on highways and increase enforcement on residential roads. The Autobahn gets that right: if you're only threatening yourself and other drivers, then the responsibility is on yourself and other drivers. If you're threatening pedestrians without a ton of metal surrounding them, fuck off.

I don't know. I had to use the highway today, and people drive like your life doesn't matter. Excessive speeding, dangerous lane changes, going too slow, etc.

I think automatic enforcement of highways should be more common, and it would help cut down on racing, too.

Something like 60% of car-related fatalities are single-vehicle and something like 25% of car-related fatalities are inflicted on pedestrians and cyclists.
