    Cars striking pedestrians happens everywhere. However, in other developed countries, the rate has been in decline for like 50 years. The US was in decline until the late 90s, or sometime in the 2000s. It then started to rise, and the rise began increasing in rate. Now the US is a drastic stand out for how many pedestrians are hit, especially fatally, compared to countries of relatively similar infrastructure development.

    I referenced "constantly" but ok...

    A country? Probably Vatican city or some small island where there is like 0 cars.

    The US has a 1:48k pedestrian/population death rate. For comparison Germany has a 1:200k ratio.
