Surprised the 10 is in over the old beat up 101 here in CA. Must be due to the length. I always see accidents on the 405 or it's at crawl which probably saves a lot of lives lol.

They already factor out distance, it's probably due to capacity. Accidents/mile/traveler might be an interesting study.

I'm guessing the Florida ones might be more because of the age of the drivers and not anything to do with the road itself. They don't call it God's Waiting Room for nothing...

76 in New Jersey is just bad drivers. Those MFrs are crazy - that's where I learned to drive aggressively.
