https://www.consumerreports.org/tran...ay-fatalities/
37,000 total for 2017
6000 pedestrians
840 bicycles
And various reports from Copenhagen and Toronto show similar ratios.
These ratios are meaningless unless they are adjusted for distance travelled, like an reputable analysis would perform.
Also, there's no way that CPH has similar numbers, so post your source.
edit: this is what you should've posted
CORRECTION: This version has been updated to clarify that the U.S. highway fatality rate reported by NHTSA for 2016 was 1.18 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled.
