My own view, on this, is that some areas inside a city center should give absolute priority to pedestrians. I mean, whenever a pedestrian wants to cross a street, by signaling his intention, all cars and bikes must stop, and let the pedestrian through. In the long run, it would reduce the density of cars, I am sure.
>>> “In 2019, Oslo, Norway recorded zero pedestrian or cyclist deaths. There was only a single traffic fatality, which involved someone driving into a fence.”
