| A pedestrian steps out into the road and gets flattened by a vehicle and the Vehicles to blame at whatever speed thay are doing??? that seems to be the gist of brakes thinking?
Better to stop the nuggit stepping off the pavement in the first place, not try and manage the consequences. There is only one "safe" speed for a vehicle and thats 0mph. It doesn't seem to enter some peeps thinking that the accident they just had might have actually been of their own making or they may have contributed in some small way.
Kids don't feel safe walking to school cos of the hype about killer motorists and assorted other psychopaths.
Roads are dangerous places, pedestrians should not expect to walk across roads willy nilly. A classic example is on local country road, humps, warnings, speed limit to stop peeps getting run over. Doesn't seem top stop the detemined goons from getting mown down though! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that a pedestrian tunnel keeps the walkers and the vehicles separate to the benefit of BOTH. The big factor is cost, the tunnel costs too much.
