I-4 listed as the most busiest and dangerous roadway in America.
I will drive US301 or US 17 when we have to go toward Interstate 4/Orlando area.
This is colloquially known as the “Haunted Highway” to Floridians, which is both the coolest and most unfortunate name ever.
I-4 is the busiest interstate in the entire country and also named as the most dangerous, based on fatalities per mile. The story goes that this interstate is haunted by a cluster of pioneering graves buried underneath a stretch of highway. The ghosts of a Yellow Fever epidemic allegedly cause radio and cellphone interference, as well as a number of car accidents.However, it’s far more likely caused by the increase in those killed by distracted driving. (Florida is the number-one state for distracted driving, and police can’t pull over drivers for this secondary offense unless they are committing a more serious crime.)
