Where the US 11E numbers come from
Counted from NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System, 2024 Annual Report File: every fatal crash whose road NHTSA filed as US 11E in Tennessee (filed under 31 spellings, such as "US-11E SR-34", "US-11E SR-34 ANDREW JOHNSON HW", "US-11E SR-34 E ANDREW JOHNSON", "US-11E SR-34 E BROADWAY BLVD"). 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.
