Road and street design is the main difference with Europe. A lot of work has been put to make streets safer for everybody.
That fact alone acts as a multiplier for everything else. The cars are bigger in the USA? The bad streets make it way worse. People are distracted at the phone? The bad street design makes it more deathly.
Fix USA's streets and towns and all kinds of deaths will be decreased. It is the most important factor.
- pluc 1y agoThis blows my mind considering most North American streets were designed for cars, whereas the same cannot be said for Europe. Maybe it's the reason: streets can be so narrow and winding in Europe that you have to pay attention?

- lksaar 1y agoYea, I read an article on here a few years ago (which I can't seem to find anymore), that a lot more cars in the US crash into buildings compared to the EU and the main takeaway point was that it is probably because of the long and straight roads in the US, since you go faster and aren't as focused.
