Worst Intersections by the Numbers

The folks at Michigan Auto Law pored through the data and crunched the numbers based on Michigan State Police car accident reports for 2021, the latest data available. The data used by the Michigan State Police is provided by local law enforcement agencies throughout the state of Michigan.

One key finding from the study revealed that nearly one-third (31.3%) of fatal car crashes in Michigan occurred at intersections.

Don't Hate the Roundabouts

People love to hate roundabouts, but research shows that they have proven to be safer with fewer life-threatening accidents occurring at roundabouts than standard intersections or four-way stops. In fact, roundabouts decrease injury accidents by as much as 75% compared to standard intersections.
