Windsor city officials have begun a comprehensive traffic study looking at intersections in the city that have the most accidents.
The study comes after one city councillor brought to light an intersection in his ward that has experienced a high volume of accidents.
Ask any motorist and they'll give you their own list of intersections to avoid.
Some say California Avenue and Tecumseh Road, other say Walker Road and Tecumseh.
But Ward 10 councillor Al Maghnieh believes the intersection of Labelle Street and Dominion Boulevard deserves attention.
“Cars are going over the speed limit sometimes,” says Maghnieh. “The Windsor Essex Parkway construction is throwing a lot more traffic on Dominion for motorists, so that's posing a challenge."
A report brought forward to the city's environment, transportation and public safety standing committee found the collision rate at that intersection was slightly higher than the city-wide average collision rate.
In a five-year period, 27 collisions were reported.
“These are all intersection hot spots, our city is continuing to change when it comes to our traffic patterns and we need to adapt with that change," says Maghnieh.
Traffic patterns including motorists who merge from Dougall Avenue onto Ouellette Place.
Property owners in the area want to see added safety measures for drivers and pedestrians.
“I see a lot of people pushing grocery carts or riding their bike and in turn they have to go into the road where these accidents are occurring," says nearby resident Angelo Lunette.
With law enforcement responding to roughly 3,600 motor vehicle collisions last year, the city is tabling a report.
“Anything that jumps out will be looked at," says Mike Palanacki, Windsor’s executive director of operations.
As part of their engineering safety audit, city officials will look into educating residents, adding more law enforcement on the road or making physical changes at high-profile intersections -- including road expansions.
"Obviously there are mitigating measures we can take to reduce the number of accidents, that's our goal," says Palanacki.
