Hi,
There is a new site www.saferoadmaps.org, which maps america's roads for safty.
I didnt' plunge into it, but I hope people here could find good use for this maps when creating cycling route.
Here I learned about this site: Science Blog - Researchers map out America's deadliest roads (http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/researchers-map-out-americas-deadliest-roads-16990.html)

Regards,
Kfir

Interesting, but I don't see it as particularly useful for bike touring or even really for cycling in general. still, I would be interested in hear how others use it if they should find it useful.

Strangely, on checking the area I live in, I was surprised the fatalities were so low for such a busy area.
