Interstate 81 from New York to Tennessee is a big killer too.
too bad no one can go count the number of illegal involved fatalities there are.
I would be that considering 32,719 people were killed in 2013— illegals were involved in fully 1/4 of those deaths —since that percentage also tracks the number of illegals in federal state and local prisons.
Scary
Your first map of Atlanta: Every time I have driven on the outer ring, I’m startled by the excess speed of all drivers. Eighty, ninety miles per hour. It’s huge.
Many of these listed are not “interstates”
The 710 AKA Long Beach Freeway, is outright scary.
It is a truck freight train. Cars are interlopers.
The LB / LA port is the largest on the west coast.
Your retail / on-line shopping supply chain passes through the 710 freeway.
Got that right. 285 in Atlanta. “Woohoo! If it goes in a circle, I might just be a future NASCAR driver.” Craziness!
True, most of the ones listed are bypasses or commuter loops for their local cities. True interstate highways are designated with only one or two numbers.
it may be that the killer is the truck— auto accidents.
sounds like the big killers are the semi’s
And all three are “warm weather” states.
Settled science says warm weather causes folks to have more accidents.
You need to move to Montana to save your life!
They probably don’t track the illegals - but they do smokers and seatbelt violators.
Have to agree on Tennessee.
Have been to Nashville several times.
There are 14 car pile-ups everywhere you go in that town.
Columbus, Ohio should be on the list too. The eight-lane cuts you see on I-270 in morning rush are like something out of a bad video game.
they’re also the three most populous states along with three of the top four largest states.
more people ... more cars ... more miles of highway ... more accidents.
not exactly a shocker.
change the stats to per capita system and weight the roads by percentage of total highways, then you’d start to see the real information. until then, largest states will always be on top.
I-710 (aka 'The Long Beach Freeway') is the main route for the container trucks from LB harbor to the RR yards at Bandini Blvd, in city of Commerce. I wonder how many of those fatalities involved trucks, many (most?) of which are driven by either illegals or recent immigrants (Seiks)
We need more light rail.
Only $100 million per mile.
The 710 in California is loaded with big rigs serving the Port of Long Beach. A really unpleasant freeway and I’m not surprised it’s one of the deadliest.
Rank your area`s 10 deadliest roads:
Martinez, CA NE thru Brentwood is “Blood Alley”; cars run into the enbankments and tip over for no apparent reason, apparently haunted. This did not happen until in the 70-80`s when they straightened the road out, probably digging over an Indian burial ground in the process.
East of San Francisco is Niles Canyon Rd. which is haunted. Strange accidents occur there as a woman in white will suddenly appear in your back seat. One of my salesman died there inexplicably when his car crashed head-on into a tree.
He always talked about seeing a woman in a white flowing transparent gown walking at night along the road, then disappearing; many crashes there.
Here in NY we have ‘Deadman`s Curve’ which after 75 years of many deaths was finally closed off.
Also there is another curve by the lake 9N where cars fly off into the lake fast while cruising at low speeds.
Another one is coming down the mountain where trucks always lose their brakes. They also straightened this road out in 1990`s, digging thru an old Indian path next to an ancient black lead warpaint site.
Are these the interstates that are closest to gun stores?
