Statistics
Explanation
The **majority of fatal victims** in traffic accidents occur on **interurban roads**, that is, on roads outside towns or cities. This is due to several factors:
- **Roads outside cities**: Fatal accidents are more common on these roads because they tend to be longer and allow higher speeds, which increases the risk of serious accidents.
- **Fewer accidents on highways and expressways**: Although there are fewer accidents on highways and expressways compared to other roads, interurban roads in general remain more dangerous.
- **Distractions and driving conditions**: Accidents due to distractions are more frequent on roads than in cities, which contributes to the number of victims on interurban roads.
In summary, the characteristics of interurban roads, such as speed and length, along with distractions, make them more prone to fatal accidents compared to crossings and urban roads.
