The majority of Michigan's most dangerous intersections are in Metro Detroit, according to 2022 crash data.

Michigan Auto Law looks at state police records to compile lists of the worst intersections. These intersections had the most crashes. The law firm also reports injury numbers.

The most dangerous intersection in 2021, 11 Mile/I-696 at Van Dyke was again the most dangerous on the new list, with 34 more crashes in 2022 than in 2021. That intersection had 207 reported crashes, while the intersection that rounded out the top 20, 7 Mile at I-75, accounted for 71 crashes.
