You have a point here that I have also noticed in a more rural/suburban setting. The number of adults, who presumably have a driver's license (or, at minimum, received some level of driver's ed in their secondary schooling), who don't know which side of the road pedestrians walk on/bicycles ride in is astounding and, in my experience, increasing. Add to this pedestrians who hop on and off the curb without notice, cyclists who swerve all over both lanes or ride at night without lights and reflectors, and people in roads in dark clothing and no lights.

It's gotten to the point that it's been frustrating and frightening to drive anywhere (dependent on how light it is).
