Pic taken from roadway.report, an interactive map of all known roadway deaths in the USA.

Fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes are the third largest cause of accidental deaths in the United States. On average for 2024 there were over 100 deaths per day on US roads.

Without knowing much about population density, it would be nice if this graphic had a color scale instead of a solid color

I agree for the graphic but I think the reason for the solid color is that it was never intended as an image but just as an interactive map on the website. You can zoom very far in and see every (half transparent) point. Filtering for all, just driver / passenger death and pedestrian / bike / other deaths and choosing the year interval (2001-2024 as default) are nice extras
