Fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes are the third largest cause of accidental deaths in the United States. On average for 2024 there were over 100 deaths per day on US roads.
Yeah, this really should be deaths per 100,000 residents or 100,000 vehicle miles driven or something. Then we could see where traffic fatalities are above or below average.
Even then it ends up being a map of where roads are vs where they aren’t. And people are where the roads are.
