"Problem:
Where paths cross roads, the #cars have power to frighten and subdue the people walking, even when the people walking have the legal right-of-way.
Solution:
At any point where a #pedestrian path crosses a road that has enough #traffic to create more than a two second delay to people crossing, make a "knuckle" at the crossing: ...
... narrow the road to the width of the through lanes only; continue the pedestrian path through the crossing about a foot above the roadway; put in islands between lanes; slope the road up toward the crossing (1 in 6 maximum); mark the path with a canopy or shelter to make it visible."
