You agree that it's not days and yet you assert the truth of cul de sac safety based on your anecdote. :/
I wonder if data actually backs this up or not. Arterials are almost certainly less safe than cul de sacs just based on traffic volume and speed, but I wonder if that's the case for reasonably quiet residential streets. I've seen idiots driving through small residential streets at dangerous speeds occasionally, but I've also seen idiots screech in and out of driveways to turn around on cul de sacs.

I assert it based on... let's call it intuition, or prejudice if you're going to be less charitable to me. I admit that I don't have the data. > Arterials are almost certainly less safe than cul de sacs just based on traffic volume and speed... Agreed, though again, neither of us have data here. > I've seen idiots driving through small residential streets at dangerous speeds occasionally, but I've also seen idiots screech in and out of driveways to turn around on cul de sacs. My suspicion is that the through residential streets see more of this, because the turn arounds in cul-de-sacs are by mistake, but going through the residential street is on purpose.
