How an intersection gets on this list

  • It's climbing: crashes in 2025 and this year's pace, against 2022 and 2023.
  • It's steady, not a blip: each year since is at least as bad as two years before.
  • It's real: at least 8 crashes a year lately, so a couple of bad weeks can't put it here.
  • It's not already on the Red List, which covers the worst ten today.

Crash data from dataGNV, January 2022 to July 2026.
