Appro of nothing, I just checked my country's data. The US has roughly three times the pedestrian death rate to that of Australia.

I don't know what that means. I have only been to the US once, and that was in the 90s. I was very surprised at how difficult it was to be a pedestrian there. Australia does love cars too, but it is also relatively easy to leave them at home for small errands. Not sure how much of a contributing factor that is?
