Where the State Highway 182 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 182 in Louisiana (filed under 4 spellings, such as "SR-182", "SR-182 OLD SPANISH ROAD", "SR-182 ST.. PETER ST", "SR-182 W PINHOOK RD"). 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. A fatal crash is one in which someone died within 30 days. Totals in state and news reports for a road usually differ: they include ramps and frontage roads, or count from preliminary reports. The full method.
