In general people seemed unconcerned about Maryland’s traffic deaths at 615 which is almost 2 a day. Well what about 5,393 people incapacitated for 2007, that’s better then one every two hours on average. Compare that to 7 bicyclists killed and 73 incapacitated, now how safe do you feel driving in Maryland vs cycling?
Oh and this stands out like a sore thumb: Baltimore City Car crash rates per:
VMT 534.9 – State Avg: 177.8
Pop. 304.2 – State Avg: 179.7
Licen. Dr. 616.2 – State Avg: 254.5
Regist. Veh. 678.5 – State Avg: 212.6
