Abilene Quiz

Did anyone catch the KTXS 6:00 news Monday night? They had a report on the 5 most dangerous intersections in Abilene. I wasn't really surprised by the ones they listed, but I was terribly surprised by one I assumed would be on there that wasn't. What's your vote for most dangerous intersection in Abilene? (non-Abilene-resident bloggers are, of course, welcome to vote! We always love interesting answers!)

I didn't see the news but I know from driving around numerous accidents a month at the intersection of Oldham Lane and Industrial there are many at that location. Where were the top five?

how about 71st & Memorial? (just a little trivia for you - this is actually one of the most dangerous intersections in the U.S. according to state farm insurance and can be found in Tulsa, OK). thought it might be found in Abilene as well! :-)

I think 10th and treadway is horrible...I've seen several really bad accidents there. South side intersections may be traveled more though.

Winter's Frwy and S. 27th... Especially since they changed the lanes and there is no turning lane. I don't know how many people I have seen pull over into the oncoming lane of traffic to turn left at the light! Remind me why they painted large white arrows on the road?

I think the up-and-coming most dangerous intersection in Abilene is at Ambler and "the Walmarts".

Don't remember any particular intersections from my sojourn in Abilene so long ago. . .just lots of hills that I had to maneuver with my 5 speed Honda. That and cutting through the ally and "field" behind our duplex to to get to Wal-Mart faster.
