Most Dangerous Roads and Intersections in New Orleans
Some of New Orleans’s most dangerous roads and intersections include Canal Street and Rampart Street, Chef Menteur Highway and Downman Road, Gentilly Boulevard and St. Bernard Avenue, and Chef Menteur Highway and Read Boulevard. High-speed corridors like I-10 and I-610 also see frequent serious crashes.
How Road Defects Can Contribute to Accidents
Dangerous road conditions can include pothole-ridden pavement, inadequate or missing signage, poorly timed traffic signals, insufficient lighting at intersections, faded lane markings, and missing or damaged guardrails. When government entities fail to maintain safe roads, they may be liable for accidents that result.
