On which type of road does the highest number of traffic fatalities occur according to statistics?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is on interurban roads, specifically on conventional roads. Although vehicles travel at higher speeds on motorways and dual carriageways, these roads are designed to be safer (separated traffic directions, no level crossings). In contrast, on conventional roads, the risk is higher due to the possibility of head-on collisions when overtaking, level intersections, and passing through towns. On urban roads, many accidents occur (the majority), but they tend to be less severe with fewer fatalities because speeds are significantly lower.
