Worst Intersections In Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City addresses the 10  worst intersections in the city. The list is based off the number of accidents in the intersections over the last three years.

At the top of the list is Northwest Expressway and Bell Isle Blvd. It had 181 accidents reported. Drivers are not surprised.

"Your taking your life into your own hands when you get out there," said Cathy Boyer.

"I have a friend who used to say no, I don't take Belle Isle Bridge because it's a death trap," said Scott Hunter.

Oklahoma City Public Works Director, Eric Wenger, says improvements have been made to the intersection but there is still a long way to go.

"Sometimes you just have to consider the removal of some of the streets or some of the lanes."

City officials are considering options not just for Belle Isle Blvd, but all intersections on the list.

"Adding left turn lanes, dedicated left turn signals is a huge improvement we can make. Another thing we can do is change the timing of lights."
