A historical review notes 33,500 annual US traffic fatalities, likening the toll to a city’s population marching past a reviewing stand. It cites 1946 as not the worst year, with 37,512 killed in 1941, tracing fatalities rising since 1912 as car ownership grew and only wartime gas rationing briefly reduced deaths.
