Highway deaths rise as population grows and roads cluttered
A 1927 survey by the American Road Builders Association details highway fatalities, with 26,618 deaths and 719,800 serious injuries, costing over 800 million dollars. Pedestrians account for more than two thirds of fatalities, while motorists and physical conditions also contribute. The piece argues for education, uniform laws, and driver licensing to curb the toll, noting 40,000 lives could be lost in 1935 if trends continue.
