Safer Decisions Matter On Every Road.
The statewide data points to the same risks drivers see every day: speed, impairment, distraction, and the need to share the road with people walking and biking. It also shows that road safety is not limited to major highways. More 2024 fatalities occurred on local roads than on the state highway system.
For drivers, regular vehicle maintenance cannot control every risk on the road, but dependable brakes, tires, steering, lighting, and drivetrain components help a vehicle respond as intended when conditions change.
