The whole concept of roads being "car land" comes from car industry propaganda. Roads existed before cars, and people walked in them. Then cars came along and started killing a lot of pedestrians. Car companies didn't like the negative PR, so they promoted the idea of roads being "car land". They created the concept of "jaywalking" and lobbied governments to make it illegal.

You are the one operating a machine that kills people easily. It is your job to avoid killing people.
