The number one spot is held by a heavily traveled stretch of road in Macomb County, crossing over a busy suburban freeway.
The number of crashes at that site has increased 60% since 2019.
Michigan Auto Law releases the list as a public service, attorney and president Steven M. Gursten says.
“Our goal is safety for drivers, passengers and pedestrians,” he said. “Each year we spend numerous hours compiling the data to produce this list to give drivers the information they need to possibly plan alternative routes. With all the outside distractions is increasingly important for pedestrians and people on bikes in these areas to be aware and pay extra attention.”
