\n\t\t\tThe Most Dangerous Intersections and Roads in Philadelphia\t<\/h1>\n\tPhiladelphia is one of the most historic cities in America, but its streets also carry a tragic reputation. Every year, hundreds of people are killed or seriously injured on city roads. According to PennDOT crash statistics, intersections account for nearly 40 percent of all reported crashes statewide<\/strong><\/a>, and Philadelphia consistently ranks near the top for severe collisions.\nFor decades, residents have known certain corridors as especially dangerous like Roosevelt Boulevard<\/strong>, with its multiple lanes and high speeds, and Broad Street<\/strong>, which cuts through the city from South Philadelphia to the northern neighborhoods.\nThe City of Philadelphia launched Vision Zero<\/strong>, a program dedicated to eliminating traffic deaths. The Vision Zero Capital Plan 2025<\/strong> names ten “Priority Intersections”<\/strong> where fatal and serious injury crashes are concentrated.\n

\n\t\t\tThe Vision Zero Plan lists 10 intersections but MyPhillyLawyer has identified 25 dangerous intersections in Philadelphia.\t<\/h2>\n\t

MyPhillyLawyer went through the Vision Zero data, PennDOT crash statistics and reviewed incidents recorded with the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) Red-Light Camera intersections. Those red light camera locations were chosen by the PPA specifically because of their crash history and ongoing safety risks.<\/p>\n

We then went one step further and looked at hundreds of media reports of accidents to identify the 25 most dangerous intersections.<\/p>\n
