Intersections are what kill mostly. The energy delta between two fast moving cars going the same direction is low. The energy delta between even moderatly moving cars at orthogonal or directly head to head is huge.
Perhaps the accurate way to say Romeo’s point is that time spent driving through intersections is (much) more dangerous than time spent driving on roads, highways, etc.

This doesn’t appear to be true. Using the same data I used above I get:
