The Maricopa Association of Governments ranked 99th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road the worst intersection after hundreds of crashes occurred there.
PHOENIX — The riskiest intersection in Maricopa County comes in the form of a roundabout. According to theFrom 2017 to 2021, there were 411 crashes at 99th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road.
"It's horrible. It's horrible. I don't understand who thought of this," said Desirae Hernandez, who has lived in the area of the intersection her entire life. "It's kind of confusing on the signs. But a lot of the time, people will try to switch lanes when they're trying to go, or they'll just switch lanes without even signaling," said James Parsons.
"We take three things into into consideration. One is crash frequency, or just the number of crashes at any intersection, the crash severity, and the crash type," said Margaret Herrera, MAG's Transportation Safety and Operations Program Manager."So all those three factors go in and we do weight the crash severity a little bit heavier."
