TKC 1ST LOOK!!! INTERACTIVE MAP REVEALS DEADLIEST HIGHWAYS IN MISSOURI AND KANSAS!!!
Because it's slick out there and we wan't you d-bags to be careful . . . This morning we've got an EXCLUSIVE look at an interactive study that identifies and visualizes the most deadly highway stretches in Missouri and Kansas.
This work analyzed over 2 years of collision records and identified 40 segments of state and federal highways where fatal crashes occur at a high rate. These stretches stretches of road totaled approximately 260 miles of highway that accounted for 162 fatal collisions and 182 fatalities. These segments were then ranked by density, measured by fatalities per mile.
The study found:
- A 7.8-mile stretch of US Highway 71 in south Kansas City accounting for 8 crashes and 9 total fatalities
- Jackson County, home to Kansas City, accounted for 22 collisions and 23 fatalities across 5 segments
- A segment of US Highway 24 in east Independence, MO is the deadliest length of highway in our analysis

ReplyDeleteWE MUST BAN HIGHWAYS!!
Stop the Automobile Violence.
DeletePhones are most dangerous thing to be introduced into driving since alchohol.
ReplyDeleteLOL Cleaver's Pride highway 71 is the deadliest AND most inconvenient stretch of road in the metro. No surprise there. Liberal policies in action. It should have been I-49, saved the state a lot of money, made a better experience for all commuters, and helped out the neighborhoods so someone's not dying every month
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, the section of 71 South of the City was primarily due to a 12+ month construction project with constantly changing traffic patterns and lane reductions over the crest of hills, no signage on those hills to expect traffic. I've seen tractor trailers crest both NB and SB lanes only to find traffic at a standstill. One came whistling past me on the shoulder, about 20 cars in from the end of the backup. He still went another 10 or so before coming to a stop.
ReplyDeleteAnd, they HP and their MoDOT cohorts, rather than let people illegally cross to the outer road to naturally reduce traffic congestion they ran almost constant enforcement trying to squeeze tickets out of as many people as they could. The irony of seeing the HP and local jurisdictions taking the very same paths was disgusting.
Time to start filing major lawsuits against MoDOT and their Mizzou grad engineers.
