SafeRoadMaps.org - Mapping Out Roadway Fatalities

A very well-implemented service, Safe Road Maps is presented by the Center for Excellence in Rural Safety. Taking into account data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, what this service does is to visually map out every reported traffic fatality across the country.

In practice, this means that anybody can see the most fatal crashes within his neighborhood. In addition to that, users can provide a query and visualize a map of all the road fatalities that have taken place in a given location. As it was to be expected, this search tool features refinement labels that let the user specify whether drinking or speeding played a role in the accident, and aspects such as the age of the driver can be accounted for as well.

All in all, Safe Road Maps is a service that facilitates the education of the general public and which (to quote its tagline) makes a real contribution towards “envisioning safer roads” by providing everybody with a practical source of information.

“Envisioning Safer Roads.”

It makes a significant contribution towards road safety in our country.
