“That’s the price of freedom!”
No surprise if you look at the cars and how safe they are. Also driving tests to get a license in some states are a joke. So you git unsafe drivers in unsafe cars.
I’m guessing there’s also more use of rail and public transit.
The EU population is 450 million people with an average density of 106 people/km2. The US is 350 million at 33 people/km2.
There are probably better metrics than straight density.
I think that’s also a big point, US is all urban sprawl, and that make it hard to build public transport.
Still, 80% of people in US live in urban areas. It’s easy to build public transport for them
Not in any way disagree with that sentiment at all, i’m just responding to the density comment and think urban sprawl is why the density is so low, making everything so far apart, making public transport hard to build, and making everyone impatient and drive fast, which causing so much death on the road. It’s all linked.
I think we’re dancing around the term “suburbs” here.
Because it’s different thing, urban sprawl is a way of expanding city and town in a low density, single zoning way, while suburb is simply a residential area right at the edge of city or town, but not spread out enough to be rural.
That’s average density, but a lot of the US is empty. The more empty places there, the more places that are denser than the average.
, still making excuses for fascism is crazy
Fascism is when no metro :(
So should we fuck the US cars twice as hard or what is the point?
The point is that if you build right, or even attempt to, you will have safer roads and cities even with a lot more density.
Are you seriously asking what’s the point of roadway fatality data?
Does that include the fact that Europe has more than twice the population of the US? So road fatalities are actually 4x if you calculate per person?
Don’t want to be that guy but: Actually, the EU has a population of about 450M and the US has about 350M.
The y-axis says ‘Per Million residents’
I must be blind, I don’t see it. Is it a part of the two pictures in the body of the post, or the referenced image? (The referenced image does not open for me.)
The referenced picture. Can you see it like this?Yes! Thanks!
the referenced image
Yes in the main/thumbnail image, but not the two images in the post.
Literally incorrect. It’s deaths by million residents. Why are people upvoting this.
The first graph is a ratio, but both the title and the other two graphs are absolute numbers
Because it makes them feel good
I’ve updated my comment to remove the question and provide the info Eq0 posted right away.
P.S. It’s a tall order on the internet, but please - chill a bit! I was asking a question, I don’t even know how that can be “literally incorrect”. I guess I should know better than asking questions on aggro topics. The main referenced picture doesn’t open for me BTW, only the two images in the body of the post.
