It's worth noting that Oslo has a lot of zebra crossings (pedestrian crossings that are not controlled by lights, with pedestrians having right of way over cars). They are at most junctions and regularly spaced along business districts and residential roads. So when you're driving around Oslo you have to be prepared for a pedestrian to step in front of you at any second. It certainly creates a careful, "slow & steady" driving mentality towards pedestrians. (This does not necessarily make them safer drivers at other times. Immigrants to Norway often discuss amongst themselves how bad Norwegian drivers can be.)
