Now, as traffic congestion has returned to normal, we should expect fatal crashes to decline — not necessarily because of safety programs, but because congested roads slow drivers down. This is what is happening in Tampa Bay and in other cities touting similar results.

Basically, during Covid they expected less crashes but because of different factors, mainly low volume of traffic, a lot of people were speeding, driving drunk,etc. Now that traffic is back, it slows people down meaning less accidents.
