Something we learnt of first hand from our visit to the US. Teenage school children in some parts of LA are not allowed to walk to school if they have to cross the road. It is deemed too dangerous. Even if they live only a mile away. Walking is banned. So they get driven or they take the bus. So instead of sorting out the traffic, they ban the pedestrian with knock on effects on fitness / obesity / less people on the streets so less safe / etc etc
