Agree they are safer, technically, youre just more likely to die from a collision on the freeway than street level. Probably because there is no cross traffic.
I wish staying to the right worked better. On Rt 60 there is a lot of on/off ramp traffic and some want to be in the left lane cut off by the midlane traffic where the right is actually where a lot more accidents happen.
It’s worth bringing up, you’re much more likely to get in a collision on the freeway if you’re going slower than traffic, compared to faster than traffic.
Yes, for sure, which makes everyone more likely to crash by forcing them to speed up. Those crashes are also more likely to end with more injuries, or fatalities. This makes me a worse driver overall…

You probably said it correctly, but, collisions on surface streets are less fatal because of cross streets?
Freeways have much fewer collisions per mile driven by a LOT
