From icy on-ramps to potholes the size of an upper peninsula moose, everyone knows Michigan roads can make for dangerous driving. But road conditions often aren’t the only factors involved when it comes to auto-related accidents in Michigan. “In 2018, a third of all fatal car crashes in Michigan occurred at intersections,” according to the firm Michigan Auto Law. Each year Michigan Auto Law uses Michigan State Police data to compile a list of Michigan’s most dangerous intersections. Here are the top 20 contenders for Michigan’s most dangerous intersections, based on data from 2019.
