The most dangerous road for cyclists in America

The title mentions the most dangerous road, but I see no pictures or visual details of the road itself except for a terrible picture taken from a corner that looks like 80% of the multiple lane roads in America.

That’s because it literally looks like 80% of the multiple lane roads in America. There are probably >20 intersections in my city that would be completely indistinguishable.

It’s also the point of the article. These very dangerous designs are everywhere and they kill thousands every year. A man was killed in my city two nights ago on an arterial just like this one.

I was also looking for photos or diagrams of the road. So weird they didn’t include any.

It's your basic north American "stroad".

Why would you expect it to look different? Danger comes from metrics or proximities or traffic patterns or design flaws not apparent in a photo.

I've seen accidents out there.

I guessed that this was the stretch of road correctly before even reading the article.

I guessed Pacific Coast Highway, but i actually had a worse time biking everywhere in california on Imperial Highway.

I live in Central Louisiana now, and while i loved the health benefits of biking, i will never bike in louisiana. There is no infrastructure at all for anyone except motorists anywhere except a 4 block area downtown.

As a European that multiple lane road looks lethal for cyclists so I guess that tracks.
