There are a few ideas that we can steal from Europe:
1: Raised crosswalks that act as a speedbump and force people to slow down and subconsciously give priority to non-cars
2: Tighter exit turns, our roundabouts are particularly bad at this in order to prioritize vehicles (example). Our exits from roundabouts are almost straight and encourage you to speed when leaving the circle.
3: Signals for both cars and non-cars, prioritizing non-cars
As usual, it’s shameful that normal citizens have to come up with this shit instead of the engineers and planners that we pay a lot of money for.
