Pic taken from roadway.report, an interactive map of all known roadway deaths in the USA.
Fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes are the third largest cause of accidental deaths in the United States. On average for 2024 there were over 100 deaths per day on US roads.
Congrats, they've made another map that's basically just a population map.
Without knowing much about population density, it would be nice if this graphic had a color scale instead of a solid color
Having driven in a few of those red splotchy areas(FL TX), I can confirm the traffic is bad, but the drivers are insane. Running every stop light by 10 seconds plus, and every other bad driver habit. It's not a surprise that those are high fatality areas. There was an intersection behind where I used to work. There was almost a daily crash from people running the red light.

The map and text in the post are a bit misleading as the map shows the data from 2001 to 2024 and the text only talks about the average for 2024
Go as fast as you want in Montana. Even if you fall asleep and run off the road, there's nothing to hit.
