The Vent: May 2007 Archives

Every year, the Illinois Department of Transportation puts out a list of the 10 intersections that have had the most accidents. The same names usually appear on that list year after year, with a few exceptions. For instance, the junction of Roselle Road and Route 72 in Hoffman Estates has been in the top five for the past three years, coming in first place for fender benders in 2004.

Which intersections would make your list for being the most accident-prone, based on your experience? Are there any that should be redesigned to make them safer for drivers and pedestrians?
