It’s a simple point, but one that NHTSA, traffic engineers, and many road safety org’s have yet to learn.

Graph depicting opioid overdose deaths from 2004 to 2024. The graph includes three lines: total drug overdoses (dark blue), opioids (purple), and non-opioids (green). All lines rise sharply until peaking around 2021, then declining in 2024. Lines show total overdoses higher than opioids, which are higher than non-opioids. Data source: KFF analysis of CDC WONDER files.
Opioid overdose deaths fell sharply from 2023 to 2024 (79,358 to 54,045), driven largely by decreases in fentanyl-involved deaths.
Even after these declines, deaths remained above 2019, the year before opioid deaths increased sharply during the pandemic. https://on.kff.org/4sumABw
