Why Are Our Roads Still So Deadly?

Nearly 40,000 people died on US roads in 2024—and most of those crashes were totally preventable. The wild part? We already have the tech to spot dangerous spots before tragedy strikes (think smart traffic signals and AI that flags risky intersections). States like Washington and North Carolina are using this data to fix problems before someone gets hurt. Imagine if every city did this! Time to stop treating road deaths as "just the cost of driving." #RoadSafety #SmartCities #VisionZero #Infrastructure #TechForGood #Transportation
