While personal experience provides every motorist with his or her own list of the most dangerous intersections, SEMCOG uses annual crash data to analyze which crossroads cause drivers the most problems and why.

In some cases it is alcohol or red-light running that causes the accident, but in most cases it is driver error that is to blame – specifically when the driver is in the 16 to 24, or 65 and older age bracket, according to SEMCOG.
