I am well aware of the Statistical Value of Life and how it impacts projects. But that is generally used for allocating preventative measures. No road is going to get approved if it is going to result in random deaths by design.

Roads with cars on it do result in random deaths. The preventative measures only prevent deaths that the road itself caused.
