Where the State Highway 83 numbers come from
Counted from NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2024 Annual Report File: every fatal crash whose road NHTSA filed as State Highway 83 in Hawaii (filed under 3 spellings, such as "SR-83", "SR-83 JP LEONG HWY", "SR-83 KAHEKILI HWY"). Ramps, frontage and service roads are left out. Where two routes share a road, NHTSA files each crash under one of them, so a shared stretch counts on one route only.
