Though the correlation between speeding and highway fatality rates is well established,

Is that a negative correlation? Because free flow traffic speeds over the last 20 years have increased, but fatality rates have decreased.

Rates per mile driven have decreased, but it's clear that fatalities per accident increase when speed increases; see fig 5: http://www.tfhrc.gov/safety/speed/speed.htm

True, but decreased crash rates should offset that to some extent.
