Die Daten wurden anhand nationaler Daten zu tödlichen Unfällen und Volumen (FARS 2021-2023, HPMS) zusammengestellt. Es werden nur die FHWA-Funktionsklassen 1–6 angezeigt (lokale Straßen sind aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit ausgeschlossen).
Die Unterschiede zwischen den Bundesstaaten sind manchmal drastisch und spiegeln Unterschiede in der Straßenüberwachung, der Infrastruktur, den Gesetzen, der Beleuchtung, der Wartung usw. wider.

Ahh hello there Atlanta. And Florid… Wait what the hell is wrong with you, South Carolina?
This is some really beautiful data
I cannot believe how safe rural Wisconsin is. Between the drinking, the winter, and most of that central northern Wisconsin is 2 lane county highways I’d have thought it would be one of the worst places to drive.
Having driven in Florida this past fall this doesn’t surprise me at all. I have never seen such a tight density of absolutely bat shit insane drivers who all seemed to have a death wish.
A map Iowa can be proud of!
I’m surprised how this does not correlate to excessive drinking at all.

Weird to be able to pick out WA State Highway 18 and know the exact red spots…. WOW!!!!
ETA there is a road off of 18 that goes south a bit that is pretty orangey red and I am sad to think it’s the “Hobart road” as we call it back home… wow! I might be wrong but i did compare it to a google map of the area…
I know South Carolina: there is no helmet law for motorcycles. And you don’t need a license for a scooter. So people with DUIs tend to just ride scooters around with no helmet.
Jesus, Mississippi is just the worst at everything, isn’t it. Except every so often, when Louisiana takes the bottom rung.
Surprised Dallas/Fort Worth isn’t darker…. We got a lot of crazy inept drivers out here
Least educated states have the highest fatalities, shocker
The title says road miles, but the scale says vehicle miles. These are different measures. Which is it?
Why such a big difference between chicago and Milwaukee?
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a map of the US that is not just Where People Live.
This is gorgeous
My poor, beloved New Mexico…you certainly have a lot of awful drivers!
This is really interesting. I would hope the factors are well understood. And I’d like to think lessons are being learned.
This map changes too abruptly between state lines, especially for cities/metros in two/three states like KC/Philly/etc. maybe the data source defines road fatalities as different things depending on state?
