  > I wonder how far would other solutions to reduce road car deaths go with the same budget? Far, far, far wider. Reducing road deaths is a pretty well understood, political implementation is the problem. And the simply fact is, reducing road deaths is cheap. Its very cheap. If you want to make it look good, and fancy, its a bit more expensive. But the fact is, we know how to do it, and do it cheaply. Fancy next generation car technology is pretty terrible in terms of investment to return. All you really need is a bunch of paint, and a few concert spectators over various shapes. Pretty much all you have to do is make cars slower, that is by far the most important factor in mixed traffic. There are many ways to achieve this. If you want to get a bit more fancy and technical, you can make dutch intersections: Doing things like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_intersection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_intersection > How about better public transit, encouraging people to use smaller cars, encouraging cycling with corresponding infrastructure, etc. How about banning cars from many city centers, or only allowing commercial and people who live there. How about REQUIRING smaller cars. A limit on car size, specially if you want to enter cities.
