everyone makes mistakes from time to time (just some more than others). it is good to organise things so they are not lethal. this has nothing to do with women and men, unless you think it's possible to rape by mistake.
@brokenbetty yes, or perhaps they protect pedestrians by restricting motor traffic movements to narrowly defined through routes and crossing opportunities, leaving the rest of the road for free pedestrian movement. the exact degree of priority and amount of space given to pedestrians is entirely a political decision, and has nothing to do with the benefits of separating traffic of different speed and momentum.
