Do you have data suggesting that rainbow crosswalks are safe? How about data proving they are beneficial in any way?

a screenshot of the linked study, on asphalt art safety, from the Executive Summary section. it reads: Comparing the average of crash rates for before-after analysis periods, results from the Historical Crash Analysis include: » 50% decrease in the rate of crashes involving pedestrians or other vulnerable road users » 37% decrease in the rate of crashes leading to injuries » 17% decrease in the total crash rate Similarly, the Observational Behavior Assessment indicates: » 25% decrease in pedestrian crossings involving a conflict with drivers » 27% increase in frequency of drivers immediately yielding to pedestrians with the right of way » 38% decrease in pedestrians crossing against the walk signal The promising findings from this study will inform ongoing discussions on how to revise U.S. roadway engineering guidance to improve safety for the most vulnerable road users. The study also provides data-driven evidence cities can use to make the case for their own arts-driven transportation projects. The following report details the background, methodology, and results of the Historical Crash Analysis and the Behavioral Observation Assessment.

Do you have any evidence that wasting funds covering up a memorial makes streets safer than spending money fixing the potholes across florida?
