The message is community-spirited if anodyne: The quest for safer roads requires everyone to contribute, whether they be transportation professionals or commuters simply trying to get to the office.
In reality, the duty to prevent collisions should fall on the road engineers, car companies, and public officials who create the system in which people drive, bike, or walk—and not on road users themselves.
The problem is that some of those groups have far more leverage over road safety outcomes than someone driving or walking down a street.
Highway engineers, for instance, can design a roadway with sidewalks and bike lanes, or they can force pedestrians and bicyclists to share a lane with motor vehicles whizzing by.
