  1. Hm...
    So,to draw information from this map.
    Road deaths occur along roads. There is a greater density of deaths where there is a greater density of roads, i.e. large urban areas.

    It's pretty. But it could as easily be a map of population density, and relative road usage.

  2. As I've grown older I've become more averse to driving on highways around major cities. This map validates my aversion.

  3. More people=more collisions.
