Nothing in NYC, DC, or Atlanta? I'm a little surprised by that.

Oh, and I heard 'No Sleep Till Brooklyn' yesterday and it made me think of you. I think maybe I've been spending too much time online.

The people of Stuart, Fla. will be very upset to learn that "Confusion Corner" didn't make the list.

I had no idea #4 was so bad, although it is a pretty busy intersection. #7 has traditionally been our worst intersection for about the last 20 years, it's right next to a very busy mall and for some reason that light never seems to work right. I don't know that in my lifetime I've gotten to it while it was green and driven right through.

I live 5 minutes away from Numbers 2 and 3. Been through them many times. Definitely very dangerous. My girlfriend was actually in an accident at #3.

I live 10 minutes away from this intersection. No accidents so far, but I can see why it's #1. It's a combination of two very wide roads and horrible South Florida drivers.

Really? Then you live less than 15 minutes away from me. I am right near 121 and Old Denton Rd.

I always thought the most dangerous in TX was the Beltline/Midway in Addison but I guess it has changed recently. Scary because 3 out of the top 5 in TX are all within 15 minutes of my place.

It looks like it is safest to live in the midwest as all the intersections are either east coast or out west, excet the one in Louisiana.

Now I am really pissed that I just moved from Ohio to Philadelphia. We have numbers 2 & 3 that is recockulous. Sorry to hear about your proximity to said intersections flyarz.

Surprise...the Top 5 in Georgia are all in the Atlanta area. And I've been through every one of them, and they are all bi-yatches. Especially the Roswell Road/Abernathy intersection. I lived about 5 minutes from that one when I first moved up here. And there did to seem to be a wreck there almost every day.

There is something dearly wrong with that.

Oh...they were talking about accidents? That explains everything than...

Oh Hell yes...I used to live 2 blocks from #6 and drive through both of those intersections EVERY DAY for two years.

Tulsa rocks.
