That's nuts. I wonder what makes it so dangerous? Maybe too many people don't know how to use their brakes comming off the hill.... lol
Edit: Oh. That's the 4th most dangerous in Oregon. I thought it was the 4th most dangerous in the whole US, I was goin to be like.. Holy sh!t.

2. Philadelphia, Penn. Red Lion Road and Roosevelt Boulevard
3. Philadelphia, Penn. Grant Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard

HA, i live less then 5 miles away from these intersections and drive through them atleast 30 times a week to get to/from work and driving anywhere else. I always knew these intersections were dangerous, top 10 in country dangerous? I didn't think they were that bad. Alot of it has to do with the highway (route 1) is 6 lanes (total of twelve)(3 local/3 express lanes in each direction and people just don't know how to make a left hand turn at the intersection. alot of accidents are because of this.... On roosevelt blvd in the city they need to adopt the design that many Jersey roads have. they have a serperate lane before an intersection inwhich you have to loop around to get on the intersection street. (NO LEFT TURNS!)

man I always thought the 7th/Camp Bowie/University/Bailey intersection in Fort Worth was the worst. its 6 ways. i guess its no the most "dangerous" because the traffic thru there is mostly pretty slow. i bet its up there in total number of wrecks though. any Fort Worthians back me up on this one?

I lived there for a while. My Folks and family still live there.
It is near the entrance to Century Village (10,000 resident Retirement Condos) where you have people that should've turned in their Licenses decades ago. You literally take a chance everytime you go near that intersection. The old ones run the red light in every direction.
I think that's more dangerous for pedestrians.
In all fairness, there are an awful lot of older folks in through Kew Gardens. Forest Hills and Rego Park who really should not be crossing that road.
(Please do not misunderstand this as a slam on older folks - I are one.)
I've never even noticed trouble or had trouble at the intersection of #2 but whatever... I know where it is and have gone thru it plenty of times... Flatspin is on redlion like 30 seconds from the intersection, they got all you can eat wings during football games!!@#!@
