    but because nobody in a car would stop to help a pedestrian anyway

    Yes. I believe this has been well known since at least the 1960s, as I think Jane Jacobs wrote about it in “death and life of great American cities”.

    Cars remove people from the community. A driver cruising along at 25+ mph isn’t going to see much, and stopping is far more difficult than on foot.
