Car accidents are a common concern in Tempe, a city known for its busy roadways, student population, and commuter traffic flowing in and out of the Phoenix metro area. Unfortunately, certain intersections in Tempe are far more dangerous than others, with a history of high crash rates and serious injuries. Whether it’s heavy congestion, pedestrian crossings, or drivers running red lights, these high-risk intersections have become known trouble spots.
Understanding where these accidents are most likely to occur can help drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians take extra precautions. Below, we highlight the most dangerous intersections in Tempe, based on crash statistics, city data, and community reports.
Several intersections in Tempe stand out for their history of frequent and often serious crashes. These locations combine heavy traffic, nearby businesses or schools, and high pedestrian activity, making them especially hazardous:
In addition to these well-documented crash sites, several intersections pose elevated risks for pedestrians and cyclists, including:
Tempe is unique compared to other Arizona cities because of its mix of commuters, college students, and heavy pedestrian traffic. With Arizona State University at the center of the city, thousands of students cross busy roadways daily, often near high-speed intersections. Add in light rail tracks, buses, and constant rideshare activity, and it creates a complex traffic environment where accidents can happen quickly.
Several factors contribute to the higher risks in Tempe:
In 2024 alone, the City of Tempe reported 15 intersection crashes resulting in serious injury or death. These numbers show that the risks are not only frequent but also severe, underscoring the importance of exercising caution at these high-risk intersections.
Each of Tempe’s high-risk intersections shares certain characteristics that increase the chance of collisions. A common issue is driver behavior, including distracted driving, speeding, and red-light running, which are among the leading causes of intersection crashes. When drivers take risks at already busy intersections, the likelihood of a serious accident increases rapidly.
Another factor is the mix of traffic types. In Tempe, cars often share the road with bicyclists, pedestrians, buses, and even light rail trains. Intersections like Apache Boulevard and McClintock Drive illustrate this challenge, where multiple transportation modes converge and compete for space. Pedestrians in crosswalks, especially near the ASU campus, face added risk when drivers fail to yield or misjudge timing.
Finally, road design and congestion contribute to the danger. Wide, multi-lane intersections can create confusion for drivers attempting left turns or navigating through heavy traffic. Poor visibility, short signal cycles, and high-speed approaches compound the problem.
Some of the most common risk factors include:
The City of Tempe has recognized these issues and launched safety initiatives under its Vision Zero program, including photo-enforcement cameras to discourage speeding and red-light violations at the most crash-prone intersections.
Even the most cautious driver can end up in a collision at one of Tempe’s dangerous intersections. Knowing what steps to take immediately after an accident can protect your health and strengthen your legal case.
