- ck2 15y agoWow, US interstates are simply paved with death. From what I can see, it's not just speed that kills but people-interacting-with-people at speed that kills. Because the 50-60mph backroads seem to have low death rates.
- CapitalistCartr 15y agoYes, with a death toll around 50k per year for decades, concentrated in the populous, urban areas, that's about right. If there were a little roadside symbol at the spot for each person who ever died, many areas would look like a forest. I look to self-driving cars to save us from this.
- brynjar 15y ago"paved with death" indeed. I want to see a U.S. deaths due to terrorist attacks map plot to see how sparse that would be by comparison - 911 excepted.
- tankenmate 15y agoI think you'd find that the number of people killed on US roads would exceed the number of dead from 9/11 in a little over 2 months. Time for the war on driving / vehicle accidents?
