Stay away from these intersections

 Colorado Springs Traffic

The City of Colorado Springs has released it’s annual statistics about the city’s worst intersections for traffic accidents

Colorado Springs ranks the most accident-prone intersections based on traffic volume, the number of accidents and accident severity. The higher the score, the worse the intersection.

Last year’s top 10 top accident-prone intersections were:

1.) Briargate Parkway and Powers Boulevard

2.) Palmer Park Boulevard and Space Center Drive

3.) Rangewood and Vickers drives

4.) Nevada Avenue and Southgate Road

5.) Lake Avenue and Venetucci Boulevard

6.) N. Powers Boulevard and Research Parkway

7.) Barnes Road and Powers Boulevard

8.) N. Carefree Circle and Tutt Boulevard

9.) Fountain and Union boulevards

10.) Airport Road and Academy Boulevard

I haven’t seen the lists from previous years; but my guess is that the lists from 5 years ago included many more intersections on Academy vs. Powers; and as the Colorado Springs area continues to grow towards the East and North more traffic comes with it.  Having lived in the area for over 28 years, I’ve seen the population more than double; and like many cities roads haven’t kept up with the population growth.
