SPEAKER 1: This isn't just a large city issue. Communities of all sizes can make their streets safer.

(DESCRIPTION) 
Safety features pop up on a street as car passes by, including streetlights, crosswalks, curbs with ramps, protected bike lanes and bus stops. 

(SPEECH) 
Adequate street lighting, crosswalks in places where people really want to cross, traffic signals that allow enough time for people to cross, curbs with ramps so wheelchair users aren't stuck in the street, protected bike lanes, bus stops in safe places.

These are some basic safety measures that make streets safer.

CHRIS HAYES: I've seen a number of areas where there is increased pedestrian protection, bike lanes, change in traffic patterns, all there to protect the pedestrian. And what I've seen is it does change the whole neighborhood, and it makes it actually, seems better for the businesses. Small businesses, particularly, who are in downtown areas do rely on foot traffic. And the more pedestrians feel that they can walk from one business to another, that they are safe parking, they're safe cycling there, I've just seen dramatic increases in the number of people who are in that community, people who are comfortable walking from the store to the restaurant to the store. It seems to add a vibrancy to those areas.

(DESCRIPTION)
White text on a black screen. 3 seconds behind the wheel. A view from the driver's seat of a car driving at night with its headlights shining on the road. A video of two young men in a car, one dancing and the other looking down scrolling on his phone.

(SINGING) I be rolling down that highway blasé blasé.

(DESCRIPTION)
A young woman with long painted nails drives recording a video of herself on her mobile phone with her dog in the trunk of the car. A young man drives and sings. Young people in a car laugh.

(SPEECH)
See me ball. Weaving through the traffic causing havoc, I'm erratic.

(DESCRIPTION)
Views from the driver's seat of cars driving on highways and around curves. A young man fluffs his hair looking in the rear view mirror. A woman in sunglasses dances taking her hands of the wheel.

(SPEECH)
And I'm banging on your block, and I got it bouncing like the mattress. And

(DESCRIPTION)
People driving at night. A woman looks at her phone while driving. A man tamps a pack of cigarettes. Another pours a bag of Doritos into their mouth.

rolling down my window when I hit you with that hard bass.

(DESCRIPTION)
A car drives on a road lined by palm trees. Cars drive through a cities and on crowded highways at daytime and nighttime.

(SPEECH)
Yeah, my feet back. When I'm riding, feel that impact. My tweet is like a hand clap, no feedback, and the flow cracked. Whoa.
