Road design DOES matter and there’s no question that bad roads where I live (in Utah where they cheaped out and bought pavement that ended up cracking all over the roadways) do damage cars and make driving a lot more unsafe. I’m not saying that road design simply doesn’t matter, that would be absurd.
But in Utah, it doesn’t matter how well designed the roads are. Even with clearly marked pedestrian crossings and lights, cars run the lights and kill people all the time here because, utahns believe they won’t be charged if they kill someone with their car.
I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s absolutely true - they really believe it’s OK to kill people on the sidewalks, streets, or in crosswalks.
