Colorado Springs New Homes: Busy Roads

Colorado Springs New Homes Busy Roads As far as driving goes, the Colorado Springs New Homes area has some fairly notorious busy roads; Academy Boulevard immediately comes to mind, for instance. And we all have our opinions of which shortcuts are the best or which roads ought to be avoided at certain times or perpetually. But a recent story in The Gazette breaks down the most dangerous roads and intersections in the Springs, backed with relevant data from this past year. And the findings might just help you refine your daily driving routes.

While I don't think these are exactly the awards you end up bragging about, here are some of the "winners":

- Worst intersection: Briargate Parkway and Powers Boulevard

- Most dangerous highway interchange: Woodmen Road and I-25

- Busiest intersection: Constitution Avenue and Powers Boulevard

The article explains the criteria for these rankings, which includes injuries, fatalities, volume and crashes. It also analyzes the rise and fall of traffic density in certain parts of the city. Overall, a very interesting and informative read.

I wrote back in November about the dangers of texting and driving, and how doing so affects the safety of everyone on the road. Of course I want the Colorado Springs New Homes area to be a safe place for people, and driving is certainly a big part of the whole safety sphere. So sharing statistics and information like this is not a way for me to worry you or say "Watch out!" Rather, I hope to increase reader awareness of things that can improve the safety of everyone in our city.
