Are road design in Belgium worse than in the Netherlands? The death rates per mile driven is same as in the US [1].

I don't think "road design" is an issue. People in Europe drive less in general, risk groups (teenagers and elderly) drive significantly less often, there are less people who need a car to get home after a night out, higher BAC levels (0.08% vs 0.05% or less in EU), etc.
