The incident maps - show car-pedestrian collisions are concentrated on collectors (as well as arterials). Outcomes are also most severe here.

The conflicts in residential areas aren’t happening on residential roads; they’re happening on the collector routes connecting them

Reducing speed limits is one tactic, but tactics using design that results in naturally slower speed is ultimately most effective.
