I don't argue with that, but the same rules apply when it comes to reducing traffic speed, and work just as effectively here. If you make people drive in more crowded and confined places (and with obstacles and lots of stops/turns) then they tend to drive more slowly and carefully. The worst thing for pedestrian safety are long stretches of open road. That's why it's great to have spots where the road tightens (forcing you subconsciously to slow down), make you take more stops, etc.
