Of course. The point I was making is that in the 19th century, roads were multifunctional spaces shared by merchants, horses, carts, wagons, playing children, performers, etc.
The introduction of the automobile kicked all of these use cases off of the roads. While pedestrians have the right of way, the roads henceforth belonged to the "devil wagons".
We also started to shift blame over to pedestrians for jaywalking. They no longer own the roads.
