Portland Rated Safest Traffic City in America! Woot!

Posted by Camille "the Intern" Pandian on Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 11:18 AM

NYC has just released their new traffic safety plan. If you're heading back east and you want to see what your chances against cars are, or if you're just a traffic rules nerd, you can check the whole thing out here! What we all might find most interesting though is that Portland (yes, that's us!) has been noted on the charts in this report as being the safest traffic city in the United States! In your face, people who chose to live in other cities and died!

Check out the chart!

Ps. Cheers to Graham for the tip!

Atlanta drivers are fucking insane; it's not surprising. Worst traffic I've ever been in.

Stats are circa 2008. Latest stats would likely find an even lower rate of fatality. But that, of course, would be because less people have jobs to try to get to before dying by auto violence.

Boom! Comment section once again finds the negative in what appears a resounding positive.

This is especially sweet after all the debate/hoopla about a certain "I, Anonymous" column.

Sandi Day probably singlehandedly pushed us out of 1st for 2010...
