> prioritizing safety over convenience

this sounds like exactly the right tradeoff, especially since these decisions actually increase convenience for those not in cars

Of course it sound right, because you cut off the word "runaway".

It is possible to go too far in either direction.

    When the “safety” bit is “avoiding killing people”, I’m not actually totally convinced that it is possible to go too far.

      Does the phrase "5mph speed limit everywhere" convince you it's possible to go too far? If not then I don't think you're in alignment with most of the world.

    It is, but it's laughable to suggest it's happening anywhere. Our world is dominated by cars. You likely can't see it precisely because it's so normalized.
