Injuries and fatalities at intersections are often a result of intersection design that ignores the needs of all users, according to a recent report on DC Streetsblog. This is especially true for those who must walk along and across wide, fast-moving arterial roads without pedestrian features, such as frequent crosswalks and pedestrian medians. Among the intersections nominated as the nation’s worst include those in Florida, Nebraska, and Missouri, some of which have over 30 lanes of traffic, confusing signage, and few to no safe facilities for those on foot.
