Freeways Safer in Wisconsin Interstate Study Says

The State Highway Commission reported a 1960 study showing interstate roads in Wisconsin had far lower fatality and accident rates than other rural highways. Interstate fatalities were 2.4 per 100 million miles versus 9.8 on rural trunk highways, with 1.8 percent of accidents on interstates though they carried 5.6 percent of travel. The dual lane freeway is cited as the safest highway type, while rural roads remain riskier due to high speed traffic and on off movements.
