Those numbers seem completely insane to me. Melbourne has a roughly similar population and in the last 10 years there were 3878 accidents in which pedestrians had to be hospitalised, and 274 pedestrian fatalities. Some of the infrastructure ideas seem pretty cool. We've got a bunch of raised crossings nearby which seem to do the job. Everyone turns into the street very carefully. I also like the idea of Scramble Crosswalks. What is the infrastructure in LA like for cyclists?
