Happy Memorial Day! Today’s map recognizes that not only is this day about recognition of the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military, but also that many travel both in- and out of state for the day. (Three day weekend for white collar workers, amirite?)
Based on the NHTSA data the makers of this map used, Memorial Day was the third-deadliest holiday for auto travel. Minnesota rated as the 7th safest state for travel. Recommendations to maintain safety include drivers slowing down, wearing seatbelts, and not driving after too many Miller Lites.
No information about transit riders or cyclists is represented in this map.
