Traffic collisions in the city of Los Angeles killed 290 people last year, and more than 150 fatal collisions involved pedestrians, according to Los Angeles Police Department data. It’s also 60 more people than died by homicide last year.

That means the city is far from the goal it set more than a decade ago of reaching zero such deaths by 2025.

    The OP is about L.A, which is not a country but a city. So the correct question would be “is there a city where there are more homicides than traffic fatalities?”, and pdqcp has already provided you with one example.

      Wow, rude? I asked the correct question: They made the claim that this was representative of the whole of ‘USAian’ culture (which I won’t argue isn’t true! It appears traffic deaths are higher than homicides in every US state), and I asked if there was any country where this ratio wasn’t the case - they’ve provided several sources which are quite interesting, and I am genuinely appreciative of them for doing so!
