The intersection of 7th Street and Camelback Road in Phoenix ranks 56th in MAG s list of crash risk intersections.
Phoenix has eight of the top 10 dangerous intersections across the Valley.
Using crash data from 2015-2019, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) ranked intersections across the region by crash risks.
The top intersection is 75th Avenue and Indian School Road in west Phoenix. Its older design lacks a lot of today’s standard features like a lagging yellow arrow for left turns, a signal above each lane and a pedestrian walk button.
During Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Phoenix leaders approved $4.5 million on near-term actions for three intersections: 75th Avenue and Indian School Road, 16th Street and Camelback Road and 19th Avenue and Southern Avenue.
