Those things are all done safely on grids. Your example does not work to the logical end you want it to.

Seems like everyone buying houses in these areas disagrees with you, and logic agrees with me - a bunch of long, straight, easy to navigate streets leads to more and faster traffic. If the winding streets weren't a navigation/driving problem to begin with, why complain about them?
