A new report looked at fatality rates on U.S. highways to determine which are the most dangerous for drivers.

The ranking of the most deadly highways in America was shared on April 22 by fleet management software provider Teletrac Navman.

To create the ranking, the company looked at four years of fatality rates over certain stretches of highway and calculating the number of vehicle-related deaths per mile, using Fatal Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
