That sounds like a problem with your county. If that many people are dying, wouldn’t it be worth building a separated bike path?

We have one...they don't use it.

I don't know his county specifically, but often times the roads are designed to fit in an area, with a set number of lanes, and built to that width. You cant add bike paths with out redesigning, buying more land, and building miles amd miles of path. And for what? Five bozos to ride through in fair weather?

Not enough benefits to justify the costs. Plenty better things to spend money on.
