Step 1: enforce traffic laws, like, any of them. At all.

Agreed. But I think a big problem is changing peoples attitude toward pedestrians and cyclists. On top of that we have so many commuters from MD and VA that add to the already congested and small streets of DC( I’ll also add Uber and Lyft drivers to the mix).Every day I see people show a disregard to road rules- speeding through red lights and blowing through yellow while almost hitting pedestrians. I think the only way to change behavior is to either incentivize or tax. There’s always an argument that this will weigh heavier on certain populations but people shouldn’t be breaking the law.
