Title: Traffic deaths rise in US, fall in Europe. Why?
Post by: ergophobe on April 19, 2022, 04:45:19 PM
Short answer: American traffic engineers put vehicle speed first. European engineers put safety first. The result is 289 deaths per year in LA vs 1 in Oslo.

There's a lot more to it than that. Interesting article
