National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is call-ing on Americans to practice highway safety as the country continues to reopen. Accord-ing to the agency, in a typical year, more than 36,000 people are killed on roadways in the U.S. As businesses begin to reopen, the number of drivers on the road will increase, re-sulting in increased risk, the agency says. "The number of traffic fa-talities was a crisis before the pandemic," says Robert Sum-wait, NTSB chair. "It has been inspiring to see Americans take dramatic steps to protect themselves and others during the coronavirus pandemic. We need the same resolve to stay safe when Americans increasingly take to the roads in the coming months.".
