Why are the more crashes in urban areas than rural areas?

There are a number of reasons that there are more crashes in urban areas than rural areas.

1) Increased Number of People: Urban areas of the country are roughly 75% of the United States' population. If there are more people, all else being equal, there are going to be more collisions.

2) Increased Number of Cars: Urban areas have more traffic which makes the road a lot busier. A lot of people travel in and out of urban areas as opposed to rural areas, so there are more chances for a collision to occur.

3) Less Space: Urban areas give less space for cars to move around and swerve to avoid accidents. If the same number of cars are crammed into a smaller space, there is a higher likelihood that they will hit each other.

4) Urgency: People in urban areas live their lives at a faster pace and feel the need to get wherever they are going more quickly. This results in faster speeds in what should be slower zones and illegal car moves in inopportune times. People rushing into offices or work in urban areas may cause accidents due to the huge volume of traffic present.

5) Worse Sight-Lines: In rural areas, a driver can typically see in all directions (save if he is driving through a canyon). In urban areas, it is very hard for drivers to see around corners before they get to them. Reaction times being equal, city drivers have less time to react because they get the information about where other cars are at a later time.
