This article is from 1999 but Fair Oaks and Watt Ave was identified as one of the top ten most dangerous intersections in America.

I never felt anything out of the ordinary when driving through that intersection but I don't like the idea of crossing either of those streets on foot during the rush hour.

i drive through that intersection at least once a day, every day. i've actually never seen an accident there.

 

I've been through there plenty of times... never seen anything go wrong at that intersection

 

Oh, geez - here's an update on the Ten Most Dangerous Intersections from State Farm. We made the list again.

Maybe we could make that intersection safer by diverting traffic to Howe and Fair Oaks.

Traffic does seem to flow better through there once the American River crossing reconstruction was completed.

Wow, Roosevelt Blvd making #2 and #3... that shows that the street is cursed....

 

we need the 2003 statistics so show that....

 

They don't have a listing for later years - I looked.

lol, did you notice that it says: 10 most dangerous intersections & photos? Careful, the pictures in those intersections are just as dangerous as the intersection itself... lol

 

I like how they assign a rating to each dangerous intersection, calling it the State Farm® Danger Index.

Ditto. All my days at sac state, never once saw an accident... Saw alot of red light running, until the red light cameras were installed

 

howe and fair oaks has always been on the top 10 lists, its nothing good

 

Yeah. I've seen that list. I thought it was Howe and Fair Oaks. One funny thing about that list is some city (oklahoma city maybe) has 3 of the top 10 most dangerous intersections all on the same street!!!

It's the old use-the-interstate-as-main-street-in-a-rural-town thing. Cuz you know, it's a great idea to put cross streets on 6-lane divided highways. Even better, in Tennessee, Interstate 65 has driveways off of it. WTF are you thinking buying a house that is directly on a freeway?

 

I think the intersection right behind Round Table at the meet is one of the most dangerous intersections in Sac
