It’s interesting to me that Italians have such a terrible reputation for being dangerous on the roads, and even at the start of the graph period they had lower pedestrian fatalities than the USA.
It IS that bad. However, when compared to the US, there are safety measures in place here that allow us to survive even if the drivers are awful.
To be fair, it’s anecdotical, but considering the amount of craziness I see every day in my city, i’m amazed at the low amount of deaths.
That reputation is understated, but I think it’s still a more walkable country in general.
