Dangerous Roads in Florida

Florida is known as the Sunshine State, with countless gorgeous beaches. With warm weather and an inviting sense of fun, it’s no wonder why many Americans and other visitors gravitate toward Florida. However, like any other state, not all things are perfect in the Sunshine State. There are particular Florida roads that have a notorious reputation of having a large number of car accidents

You’ll never be able to control the actions of other drivers, but there is always an opportunity for you to anticipate and predict which roads are more dangerous than others. To avoid experiencing a devastating car accident injury, the following are roads that you should traverse carefully whenever driving throughout Florida. 

Most Dangerous West Palm Beach Roads

Atlantic Avenue at South Military Trail, South Military Trail at Forest Hill Boulevard, and Southern Boulevard at State Road 7 tie with each other at 97 crashes per intersection. The 62% increase in car accidents on Atlantic Avenue at South Military Trail is in part the result of Delray Beach’s rapid growth since 2016. 

The intersection of Glades Road and State Road 7 in suburban Boca Raton has seen a recorded 118 crashes. Experts haven’t brought forth explicit reasoning, but the high number of accidents is disturbing. 

However, the title of the most dangerous West Palm Beach intersection is currently held by Okeechobee Boulevard and Military Trail.

Okeechobee Boulevard and Military Trail witnessed 123 crashes in 2018. For the fifth year in a row, Okeechobee Boulevard and Military Trail defended its title as the most dangerous West Palm Beach roadway. Again, experts have yet to present a particular cause, but you should nevertheless practice defensive driving while on Okeechobee Boulevard and Military Trail. 

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Florida

Distracted driving is the number one contributing factor in many car accidents. Drivers talking on their cellphones or configuring their GPS are prone to causing major car accidents every day. Reckless drivers are also likely to cause significant accidents. Behavior such as speeding or drunk driving all contribute to crash rates throughout Florida.

Despite the many rules and regulations in place, irresponsible drivers continue to ignore safety guidelines. The selfishness of human nature will always put you and your family at risk.
