    We should also blame car manufacturers. Why are cars built to accelerate to 100 in a few seconds from standstill? If you’re parked (and the car can know the difference between being parked and a traffic light), why is acceleration not restricted? There is no reason for being able to accelerate like that in a parking space. You should get a much slower acceleration by default and car manufacturers could put that in their cars right now.

    Am I supposed to acually watch that video or can I just use the most basic common sense?

    Separating car traffic from bike traffic from pedestrian traffic adds a lot of layers between cars and buildings, while measures to calm down traffic -to protect those bikers and pedestrians- also reduces severe crashes (and you would need a lot of force to actually damage a building).
