WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The nation's most-dangerous traffic intersection is north of Miami in Pembroke Pines, Florida, the No. 1 U.S. car insurer reported. State Farm Wednesday released its top 10 ``Most Dangerous'' intersection list, which analyzed claims data in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Philadelphia, Phoenix and Tulsa, Oklahoma, each had two intersections on the list, while Frisco, Texas, near Dallas, Metairie, Louisiana, near New Orleans, and Sacramento, California, each had one. State Farm estimated there were 357 crashes over the two-year period at the Flamingo Road and Pines Boulevard intersection. The main problem there, according to State Farm safety engineer John Nepomuceno, was traffic volume. He estimated the intersection handles roughly 200,000 cars per day. Nepomuceno said intersections on the top 10 list all met appropriate design standards and were regulated by traffic lights. He said traffic volume and driver error were two important factors in crashes. Roosevelt Boulevard intersections at Red Lion Road and Grant Avenue in Philadelphia ranked second and third, while Seventh Street and Bell Road in Phoenix was fourth. Memorial Drive intersections with 51st and 71st streets in Tulsa ranked fifth and sixth, while 19th Avenue and Northern Avenue in Phoenix was seventh. State Highway 121 and Preston Road in Frisco, Texas, was eighth, Clearview Parkway and Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie, Louisiana, was ninth, and Fair Oaks Boulevard and Howe Avenue in Sacramento was 10th. ============================= I occasionally drive through that Pembroke Pines intersection.. what a freaking headache! So many blue hairs in cars the size of the Queen Mary.. no wonder it's dangerous! So guys, anyone care to add to this list? What's your worst traffic nightmare?  | ||||
