yeah, I have heard all the platitudes before. "slows down traffic" "shapes traffic to be safer"..... BULLSHIT.... it forces traffic elsewhere, then with less traffic..... Look! Accidents went down!
Yes!! We need to also hold traffic engineers liable for their intersection design. If a building collapsed and kills people, the structural engineer is liable. Same should hold true for traffic engineers.
Shameless plug for Strong Towns, they actually do something like that where they analyze crash locations and determine what structural/design issues contributed to the crash.
The entire YouTube channel, not just bikes, constantly drives the mentality that urban sprawl is bad and consolidating back to more historic type cities is better. It sounds more like you are narrowly choosing the data points from the video that you want rather than looking at the overall message of this person‘s channel.
"Historic city types" includes street car suburbs. Which he has praised many times. If he just cared about living in a nice city he wouldn't have moved to the Netherlands. He would've moved to NYC or something.
Yeah..... Stuffing all the cars onto one lane so 10 people can ride their bike isn't making those vehicle users "safer"
Sigh. Yes it is safer for drivers too. I don't expect you to know why or how. Your ignorance is expected at this point.

As I said, your ignorance is to be expected. Thanks for confirming. Buh bye now.

Still not going to live in the city, no matter how many videos try to shame me into doing so.
If you think this video is trying to get you to move to the city then you completely misunderstood it.
