Read NewsAmerican roads are deadlier than they were before the pandemic and many are looking at changes in police traffic enforcement as a cause. Deaths spiked during 2020, and the fatality rate — deaths per million miles traveled — is still about 18% higher now than in 2019. "It is, unfortunately, an American phenomenon," says Jonathan Adkins, CEO of the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA).
