Comprehension is more difficult for some than for others ...

First, "... 11 GTA pedestrians were struck by cars in a 24-hour period ..."

The GTA is a quite large geographic, urban area. So, no, not just one intersection at the bottom of Yonge St. Focusing on one aspect of a theme is using an example. The importance behind an example, generally, is that it is not unique.

Second, "... pedestrians in Toronto often find themselves sacrificial lambs, collateral damage or unintended victims of transportation policies that view them as expendable."

So, you see, if it is a systemic problem of policy--that is a set of conventions, rules, and desired outcomes not including or subordinating pedestrian safety--then your's mother's bromides are probably mostly unhelpful.
