The Victorian Road Fatalities Map visualises the daily car-nage caused on the roads and other spaces. The interactive Googlemap is updated daily, visualising the place and mode by which a person's life has been changed or erased. "More than 256 drivers, motorcyclists and pedestrians have already been killed this year..." in Victoria, Australia. The icon and the above stats make it hard to differentiate between push- bikes and CO2 pumping motor bikes. There is no indication how such data gathering is utilised to prevent deaths and injuries in a risk society.There is a U.S. mash-up 'Safe Roads Maps' , using the Fatality Analysis Reporting System with Google Maps by the University of Minnesota’s Center for Excellence in Rural Safety.
