  They are presumably already using the sidewalks.
The vast majority of pedestrians killed in auto collisions are in intersections or completely on roadways.

And if those pedestrians had to walk in narrow, unseparated lanes, between parked cars, and busy streets, instead of on the relative safety of the sidewalk, I would imagine that fatality rates would be much higher.
