Two perennial traffic trouble spots in Springfield are tied as the intersections with the most collisions through the first six months of this year.
Springfield police statistics show Sangamon and Dirksen, and MacArthur and Lawrence, each had 33 crashes from January to June. Both intersections have been among the city’s worst for years, and both are slated for improvements over the next several years. In third place with 21 crashes was Wabash and Veterans Parkway.
Veterans Parkway has four intersections with a dozen or more crashes during that time frame… at Wabash, Lindbergh, Greenbriar, and Old Jacksonville Road.
