Bensalem Intersection Named Most Dangerous

· Jul 11, 2016 ·

Intersections are some of the deadliest places for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. A recent article in TIME looked for the most dangerous intersection in America, and found it right here in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.

Conducting the Research

The conclusion was made after TIME researchers scoured data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They looked at the most recent data available (2003-2012), as well as the number of traffic fatalities that occurred within a 150-foot radius of one another. Then they focused on the accident sites where two roads intersected.

The Most Dangerous Road Conclusions

The intersection in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, where Knights Road crosses Street Road, was named the most dangerous in the nation. During a 10-year time period, the intersection saw seven fatal crashes. Where Street Road approaches the intersection, there were 144 accidents in the two years leading up to the research project. 170 people were injured or died as a result of these accidents.

Why is this Bensalem intersection so dangerous?

TIME offers several reasons.

  • Heavy traffic
  • Poor lighting, sidewalks and street signs
  • High number of pedestrians
  • Drivers tend to make break traffic laws within this intersection

Other Dangerous Intersections in the Country

Pennsylvania drivers will be pleased to know that only one intersection in their state made the list of the most dangerous in the nation. The others were in the following.

  • Florida
  • Mississippi
  • New Jersey
  • North Carolina
  • Maine
  • Missouri
  • South Carolina
