Officials list several reasons why this could be true: less maintanence, missing guard rails, faded yellow lines, more four way stops, flashing lights, sharper curves, and narrower roads. However, the common belief is that the lower seat belt usage on rural roads is what causes the higher death rate. Seat belt usage is between 60 and 65 percent on rural roads and 85 percent in urban areas.
