Discover Which State Has America’s Worst Highway Fatality Rate

This year, many Americans plan to head out on road trips for their summer vacations. Unfortunately, more vehicles on the highways combined with hot temperatures mean more chances for car trouble and accidents. Each summer, the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) reminds drivers of the importance of tire safety during National Tire Safety Week. Tire Safety Week falls from June 24 to July 3, 2024, this year. During this time, USTMA reminds drivers that before heading out on the highway, you should check your car’s tire pressure and tire tread depth (you should be doing this monthly.) Additionally, tires should be aligned and rotated regularly by a tire service professional.

Tire upkeep is an important aspect of road safety. Unfortunately, factors such as unsafe road conditions, worn tires, and distracted driving can lead to tragedy. At 24/7 Wall St., we analyzed highway fatality rates in America by looking at the numbers from each state. Taking data from Reason Foundation’s 27th Annual Highway Report, we examined fatality rates per 100 million vehicle miles of rural arterials, urban arterials, as well as rural and urban minor arterials, collectors, and local roadways in each state. Following, we’ve included the data for all states listed in alphabetical order.

Some highlights from the report revealed that the national average rural fatality rate was 1.30 per 100 million rural vehicle miles. The national average for the urban fatality rate was a bit lower at 1.04. In the rural category, South Carolina had the worst rate at 2.92, while New Mexico had the highest urban fatality rate at 2.15. (Also see: This Is the Worst American City To Drive In.)

The safest state in the rural category was Maryland, while the safest state regarding the urban fatality rate was New Hampshire. Other notable mentions include South Carolina’s improvement by increasing its urban fatality rate by 12 positions. Vermont, unfortunately, fell in safety, dropping 11 positions in its urban fatality rate.

Why This Matters

Construction site is laying new asphalt road pavement,road construction workers and road construction machinery scene.highway construction site landscape.

America’s highway system not only serves as a safe mode to travel long distances for citizens, it’s critical for transporting goods across the country. However, when the infrastructure gets worn down, roads become unsafe. Highway fatality rates are one of the performance indicators Reason Foundation used when evaluating overall state highway performance rankings. It’s these types of measures that help policymakers determine how to allocate funding for infrastructure improvements that determine where Americans’ tax dollars go.
