TY - JOUR PY - 1973// TI - Fatal accidents and travel density JO - Highway research record A1 - Chatfield, Benjamin V. SP - 40 EP - 51 VL - 469 IS - N2 - A study of state highway department reports summarizing fatal accident experience by highway system and individual fatal accidents on the interstate system in conjunction with interstate travel data suggests that (a) sections of a highway system with higher travel densities typically have lower fatal accident rates, and (b) for equivalent travel density differences between sections of a highway system, differences in fatal accident rates tend to be greater at lower densities.
