General Road and Highway Discussion

As a more direct example, the kid rides into the street while going around the obstacle on the cycling path and gets hit by a car while doing so.

Yeah, this is exactly it. As a a parent this type of parking (and when people leave their vehicle parked across the sidewalk) drives me crazy because my young kids need to bike/scooter behind the vehicle - which means turning towards and going down a slanted surface towards a road.

Young kids aren’t particularly steady riders and often have tunnel vision.

A lot would still have to go wrong for something terrible to happen but man it would be nice to just not have to worry about it at all. Particularly when there’s almost always an alternative option to blocking the sidewalk that just involves the driver walking 15 feet more.
