I was looking for government numbers for those years, but didn't have much luck. Thanks for the FARS keyword - that looks like it should have the datasets I need! I'm going grab and parse them and see if there's an actual difference in the data. I somewhat doubt the data was made up, but it's possible that the roadway classifications were chosen in such a way that the datasets supported the point.

No I think the so called paradox was made up, To verify: http://www.nhtsa.gov/FARS Select tab "Run a Query Using the FARS Web-Based Encyclopaedia" "Query Fars DATA" which takes you to http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov//QueryTool/QuerySection/SelectYear.aspx For each year 1998,1999,2000 Select Query Year, e.g. 2000, then Submit In the top section Tick “Roadway Function Class” and “Month”, then Submit Select State: Montanta, and RFC Roadway Function Class “Rural-Principal Arterial-Interstate” Select Univariate Tabulation Select Variable - Crash Month and “Show Zeros” Yes Output 1998-4,0,2,4,5,1,5,4,0,0,3,2,30 1999-1,1,3,2,1,0,2,9,4,2,1,4,30 2000-2,1,3,5,1,5,3,3,3,1,4,4,35 Then lose your doubts.
