What are you trying to say?
- deepsun 2y agoThey likely say that more people use fast roads, so it's expected to have more accidents. The safest road is one never used.
- david-gpu 2y ago> The safest road is one never used. The safest road is one without motor vehicles. Pedestrians and bicycles cause a tiny number of injuries even when traffic is high.
- HPsquared 2y agoCyclist hitting a pedestrian at 20mph is more dangerous than 2 cars hitting each other.
- socksy 2y agoAre there suddenly no pedestrians and cyclists on the roads with the cars? A cyclist hitting a pedestrian at 30km/h (fucking fast for a normal cyclist btw) is a rounding error both in terms of how much it happens and how deadly it is compared to a car hitting a pedestrian at 30km/h
- magneticnorth 2y agoHe's saying that if a stretch of highway has traffic volume of 10 million trips taken on it in a year and an average of 2 deaths per year, that is still much safer than a neighborhood street which sees 10,000 trips per year and averages 1 death per year. (numbers made up to emphasize a point, a neighborhood street with 1 death per year is pretty obviously unsafe)

- theGnuMe 2y agoThat’s not the correct comparison anyway.
