re: The most dangerous highways in the US calculated by fatalities per mile

I was very surprised to see 11W up there.
Less surprised to see I26. It goes over the Smoky Mountains down to Asheville and people routinely go 90+ up and down 10-20° grades. If you come up on a car doing 55 with no chance to pass or fall asleep in the pitch black, you can easily end up going Thelma and Louise into a holler. It also has a bitch of an interchange onto I81.

I-4 is a complete shite show. Not sure if it will improve when the big project is completed putting toll lanes down the middle for fast tracking.
I don't think the construction will ever end. I live in Sarasota and go to Orlando regularly. That stretch of I-4 has been under construction for well over a decade it seems.

It needed to be 6 lanes the whole way all 87 miles yesterday.
That would require anyone involved to be capable of even the most basic foresight. It should have been six lanes 15 years ago.
By the time the finally expand the whole thing to three in 2035, it’ll need eight.
Louisiana: we’re working on the infrastructure your parents should have had.

I10 through New Orleans East should be at the top of the list for the bullets flying into cars these days.

Does the "fatalities" include shooting victims? Because if so, I would have expected I-10 in NOLA to be higher.

That I-10 stretch from El Paso to San Antonio will make you question your life decisions. It’s not the traffic; it’s getting out of El Paso, driving for eons then see a sign that reads, “San Antonio 510 miles”.
I have tried to drive to go watch a Spurs game twice from Houston. I have quit, turned around and missed the game twice.
I can’t imagine this hell.

That is not the actual location of Grants Pass, OR, nor what the highways actually look like

I’ll never understand the amount of wrecks or accidents that happen because of wrong way drivers on I-45. It’s every week.
Local news said the most dangerous time frame for I45 is 2-4AM. So, drunks.

Those numbers are probably low on I4. It is a fricking nightmare and I'm so glad I ain't gotta drive it everyday anymore.
Posted on 5/4/21 at 7:45 pm to BeepNode
45 is scary at times.
Posted on 5/4/21 at 7:45 pm to BeepNode
No surprise I45 sucks.

I can’t believe I-95 in Miami isn’t on there ... we went a few weeks ago and it was insane - and I’ve driven in NYC!
Maybe there aren’t that many fatalities on the highway in Miami

It. Never. Ends. I wonder how many just fall asleep or flat turn the wheel hard left and say f it.
I love that drive. Drop the hammer and roll

I have to drive from The Woodlands to the Medical District tomorrow at 9AM on I45 too

I’m shocked Highway 6 in Mississippi didn’t make it. I know 5 people that have been killed on that.

I drove Lafayette to San Antonio today. Thought I was going to die multiple time. I10 wasn't playing today.
