Can you do that please then?
Because it seems to me that you are equating the entirety of someone's life lost with the accumulated inconvenience of a bunch of others - exactly how does the maths stack up?
And are you considering the collective experience of everyone else exposed to the traffic?
I'm interested.. and I accept it's complicated
Just like the economic, social and psychological impact of Covid lockdowns versus the sickness and deaths of people who only had a few years of life left and a few people who had a genetic susceptibility. I don't think the calculation was ever done.
