Long overdue in Ohio. Rural interstates — and similarly sumptuous superhighways — have an impressive safety record: rural interstates accounted for less than 5% of Ohio’s traffic deaths at the low rate of 0.54 per 100-million-travel-miles in 2011 — FAR FAR lower than the 1.50 to 3.87 rates on conventional rural roads.
Observant drivers know why interstates are so much safer. Interstates eliminate the common causes of crashes, such as crossover conflicts at intersections; head-on collisions with adjacent, opposing traffic; and roadside hazards like trees, telephone poles, sharp curves, and sheer drop-offs.
Interstates offer a “triple win”: improved travel times, safety and fuel-efficiency by eliminating the the common causes of crashes and delays. That’s why we build interstates!
Improved travel times for long-distance travelers and tourists. Law enforcement focused on the most dangerous roads and collision “hot spots” instead of just playing (speedo)meter-reader. Higher speed limit on the safest roads?? Smart move!!
