A recent study has revealed that New Mexico has the second-most dangerous intersections in the country, with more than 90 accidents per year per 100,000 people. Issues such as speeding, distracted driving, and red light running were identified as key factors contributing to these accidents. However, city leaders in Albuquerque claim that traffic deaths have decreased by 23% over the last six years due to a data-driven approach involving engineering, enforcement, and education.
The city of Albuquerque is prioritizing road improvements based on data that identifies the most dangerous streets, with initiatives including enhanced bike lanes, crosswalks, and advanced stoplight technology. Funds from enforcement programs like speed cameras are being channeled into these initiatives to address safety concerns at high-risk intersections. This study also compared states, with Florida having the most dangerous intersections and Rhode Island the safest. The city’s efforts aim to make intersections safer and reduce accidents in Albuquerque.
