- Road-safety advocates and curious data readers
- Worth noticing
- The map omits deaths without usable coordinates and those in Alaska and Hawaii; weekday comparisons are labeled suggestive, not conclusive.
Field notes
The page lets readers change the comparison group, including children under 18, all child road deaths, and all road users; it also offers a data table alongside the charts. Its notes define fatal injury as death within 30 days and explain that map dots depend on usable crash-report coordinates, with Alaska and Hawaii excluded.
