If we're talking about issues that require attention to save lives of children, then adding traffic-calming infrastructure only to urban areas will put a big dent in the problem, as most of the ICD codes which correlate with young age ranges happen in urban areas.

Indeed I can, because there are areas of the US, and even more of Western Europe, where a mixed transit and bike trip can be achieved all year long. I suggest that you try out a commute-like trip from outside Portland or Amsterdam into the cities centers to see what I mean.

Boo hoo. Annoyance is a small price to pay for the power that comes with controlling a machine that kills 3,000 children in the USA alone.
