Each year, Michigan Auto Law analyzes traffic accident data from the Michigan State Police to determine the top 20 most dangerous intersections in the state. The law firm recently released its analysis of 2023 data, the most current data available, and has also launched a public safety campaign with billboards posted near some of the recurring problem intersections to raise further awareness. While driving, beware of these top spots.
