* The State Farm Danger Index is determined by
the number of crashes at various intersections, how many of those crashes
involved injury and the severity of those crashes. It is adjusted to
account for the percentage of vehicles insured by State Farm in areas
where the intersections are located.
Marietta
Intersection Tops State Farm List of Most Dangerous in
Georgia
A Marietta intersection ranks first on a new
list of most dangerous intersections in Georgia compiled by State Farm
Insurance, the largest auto insurer in the state and in the
nation.
Led by the intersection Johnson Ferry Road Northeast and
Roswell Road Northeast in Marietta, all five intersections on the Georgia
list are in the Atlanta area.
State Farm
put together the new list based on crashes resulting in claims by its
policyholders in 1999 and 2000.
Like the initial list, based on 1998 data, this one takes
into account the number of crashes at various intersections and the
percentage of vehicles insured by State Farm in areas where the
intersections are located. The new list also takes into account how many
crashes involved injury and the severity of those
crashes.
The intersection of Piedmont
Road Northeast and Monroe Road Northeast in Atlanta ranks as the
second-most dangerous in Georgia. The Sandy Springs intersection of
Abernathy Road Northwest and Roswell Road Northeast is No. 3. Rounding out
the list of five are Medlock Bridge Road and State Bridge Road in Duluth,
and Briarcliff Road Northeast and North Druid Hills Road Northeast in
Atlanta.
"Many intersection crashes could
be prevented," said State Farm Regional Vice President Drew Hamilton.
"Just as we did two years ago, we'll offer communities with an
intersection on our Georgia list up to $20,000 for an in-depth safety
study that could lead to actual improvements."
Because safety studies have been completed for the
intersections of Abernathy Road Northwest and Roswell Road Northeast in
Sandy Springs and Briarcliff Road Northeast and North Druid Hills Road
Northeast in Atlanta, which appeared on State Farm's initial list, they
won't be eligible for a new grant. Studies have also been completed for
the three other intersections that were on that first Georgia
list.
"We believe virtually all
intersections where many serious crashes occur can be made safer,
sometimes through relatively minor, inexpensive adjustments," Hamilton
said. "We're ready to help communities make that happen, and we hope more
local governments will start taking a look at how their own intersection
safety can be
improved."
