Dangerous Intersections – TAMPA BAY AREA

According to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) some of the most dangerous intersections in Pinellas County are in Largo, Florida. Driving in Largo, Florida could mean that you are more vulnerable to car crash than elsewhere in Pinellas County according to this data.

The MPO recently released its annual traffic crash statistics for Pinellas County. Fifty (50)intersections were identified along with the number of crashes there. "We've got a number of intersections where people are trying to go east-west and north-south on major road crossings, plus you have very wide roads where you may have six lanes crossing six lanes," said Pinellas County planning director Brian Smith. "These are usually things that are just hard to deal with."

Of the 50 hardest to deal with intersections, nine can be found in the Largo. The Belcher-Ulmerton intersection is one that is on this list. It has been a difficult intersection for many years. The intersection ranks 35 among the top 50 most dangerous intersections in Pinellas County. It's just one of the many that have ranked high year after year. Others include:

• 66th Street and Ulmerton Road in Pinellas County near Largo
• East Bay Drive and Keene Road in Pinellas County near Largo
• 66th Street and 142nd Avenue in Pinellas County near Largo

Currently the Metropolitan Planning Organization is looking closer at the locations and plan for engineering improvements to ease traffic and possibly save lives.

A couple of factors that contribute to this danger are red light running, driving inappropriately, making wrong turns or exceeding the speed limit.
