Here is the information:

Whether you drive, ride a bike, or walk, there are some places around town that are simply more dangerous than others. The hazard may come from the amount of traffic, strange configuration, or other factors that make an area of town a more difficult place to navigate safely. While every street and intersection can become dangerous when drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians fail to follow the rules of the road and pay attention, here are some of the most dangerous places in Dallas.

Most Dangerous Dallas Intersections:

  • TX – 121 and Preston Road
  • I-635 and Coit Road
  • Belt Line Road and MacArthur Boulevard
  • Hebron Parkway at Hwy 121 and at Old Denton Road
  • Parker Road and North Dallas Tollway
  • Irving Boulevard and Story Road
  • Marsh Lane and Frankford Road

Many intersections in the city have traffic cameras installed. The footage provided by the cameras is often used in vehicle accident cases to determine who is responsible. Use caution everywhere, but remember that your actions may be recorded when you are driving through certain areas of town.

Most Dangerous Dallas Streets:

  • S. Good Latimer Expressway; avoid crossing the road here when possible.
  • Texas 12 Loop, the Ledbetter to Great Trinity Forest stretch. The area has had several pedestrian deaths and many vehicle accidents.
  • Grand Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Both these spots have fast moving traffic and very few crosswalks.
  • Oak Lawn residential area. Nighttime is a particularly dangerous time of day for foot-traffic and this area has a busy nightlife, making it prime location for nighttime accidents.
  • Preston Road. Another fast road with few crosswalks is careful taking any mode of transportation up and down this Dallas road.

These are some of the streets and intersections you may recognize as having particular problems with traffic, multiple types of traffic, and careless driving behaviors. When you drive though these areas, use extra caution. Avoid them when possible.
