Meh.
there is no shortage of separated infrastructure for peds in most USAnian cities and yet our streets are very unsafe for pedestrians in comparison to holland and denmark. interestingly, in holland pedestrian deaths declined by 75% while cycling deaths only declined by 57% (1975-2001). maybe its not

c)
strict liability
d)
