Late hours, on long stretches of road and away from intersections, walk down the centre of a street.

You have better line of sight, fewer blind corners, and you should be picked up by cameras. As long as you’re not intoxicated, you can also tell when someone or something approaches better.

Also a good pocket light with focus options. You can light the way with it, or blind anything temporarily. If built well, it can reinforce your fist, and you can hammer strike.

Some places do put fees on the sale of the car itself, and their regular registration, that go to public transit. Plus they deliberately reduce the supply of parking spaces available, effectively forcing car drivers to pay for the space they occupy. I think this puts a proper price for people to appreciate the hidden costs of car ownership.

But such policies are harder to “sell” to places with vast country or hinterlands because space is in abundance, and cars are heavily favoured.
