Corrections

Last checked against the NHTSA pages:

Fatal Roads shows the counts of the NHTSA FARS files. It does not change them. A difference between this site and another source usually comes from the file, the year or a definition. The page How the figures are made gives the definitions.

How to report an error

  1. Write to hello@fatalroads.com.
  2. Give the address of the page.
  3. Give the figure on the page and the figure that you expect.
  4. If you can, give the FARS file and the case that you compare.

What happens then

  • The desk answers in five working days.
  • The desk compares the page with the FARS file.
  • If the page is wrong, the desk corrects the program. The corrected page goes live at the next build.
  • The log below records the correction with its date.

An error in the FARS record

NHTSA makes FARS from the crash reports of the states. If FARS has a crash in the wrong county or on the wrong route, NHTSA or the state must correct the record. NHTSA's page is NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). When NHTSA publishes a corrected file, this site shows the new figures at the next build.

Information about one person or one crash

The site publishes totals only. If a page seems to identify one crash or one person, send its address. The desk examines the page at once. If the report is correct, the desk removes the page and makes the rule for small counts stricter.

Requests to remove a page

The pages are about counties, states and routes. They are totals of a public federal file. The site does not remove such a page on request.
