_Safe_, or just safer?
There can be problems with people thinking that risk has been reduced or eliminated; it can encourage more risky behavior.
"It seems counterintuitive to give drivers less information, by taking away street signs, stop lights and lane markings, to make them drive more safely."
"Specialists in risk analysis argue that something else is in play. They believe that the increased use of bike helmets may have had an unintended consequence: Riders may feel an inflated sense of security and take more risks."
Absent specific studies on this there's room for doubt about "much more safer".
