While road safety measures like clearer signage and better engineering have improved driving conditions, they have not addressed the underlying issue of drivers' dangerous judgments, leading to persistent fatal crashes.
The surge in vehicle registrations from 300 in 1895 to over 17 million by 1925 reflected the rising danger of automobile use, turning car accidents from rarity to a common tragedy, spurring public safety campaigns.
The recommendations made in the 1924 national conference on street and highway safety, including uniform color schemes for traffic lights and improved road designs, are still relevant today.
Despite advancements in vehicle safety and road design over the years, the crucial element of driver behavior remains largely unchanged, posing ongoing risks on the roads.
