Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: On roads outside built-up areas.
Most fatal crashes happen outside built-up areas. In 2024, there were 1,173 on roads outside built-up areas and 483 on urban roads. Speeds are higher outside built-up areas, and the higher the speed, the more serious the injuries. Urban areas have more crashes involving injuries or deaths, but far fewer people die.
