How low would it be if KRETP was enforced?
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...ck=3&cset=true Year's road fatalities decrease By Imran Vittachi Tribune staff reporter Published January 10, 2005 Traffic crashes in Illinois killed 113 fewer people last year than in 2003, according to preliminary findings released Sunday by state officials. Early numbers indicate that in 2004, 1,341 people were killed in crashes, compared with 1,454 the year before--a decrease of 8 percent, authorities said. A final report will come out later this year. But if the preliminary numbers hold, the figure would mark the lowest number of traffic deaths in Illinois since 1943, when 1,328 people were killed, state officials said. <...> ----------------------------- Just think about how low this number could be pushed with proper speed limits, keep right except to pass enforced, and various other laws that keep vehicles from crashing into each other in the first place. Meanwhile driving no doubt continues to increase driving down the rate numbers even further, while traffic speeds I observe on interstates continue to increase. |
