Completely anecdotal, but I agree with this article 100%
I spent the first 6 years of my (oldest) kid's lives in the immediate bordering towns of Madison, WI. Nice, straight, flat, wide lanes. The people tore through those streets; I did as well, before I had kids.
We moved a few years ago and now live outside of Boston. Narrow, winding streets that are easily 1/2 as wide as WI.
I feel much safer with my kids in this neighborhood than in WI. And it's for every reason listed in this article.
