In 2011, the Ohio Turnpike raised its limit to 70 and recorded its lowest traffic fatality rate ever that year. The higher speed limit attracts travelers to use the safer, limited-access, divided highways of the interstates from more traditional roads. That makes both types of roads safer.
Why does increasing the speed limit on interstates make traditional roads safer?
62% Answer Correctly
More travelers choose to use interstates which reduces the number of cars on traditional roads.
Only the safest drivers still choose to drive traditional roads because they don't want to drive as fast.
After this change there are more police patrolling traditional roads.
Drivers attracted by the high speed limits of the interstates are reckless and getting them off the traditional roads makes those roads safer.

Solution
More travelers using safer interstates increases their safety and reduces traffic on traditional roads. This reduction of travelers on traditional roads make those road safer because there are fewer vehicles on them. None of the other answers relate to the information given in the paragraph.
