Where Crashes Happen Most Often In Omaha
Omaha is one of Nebraska’s busiest cities, and with that comes a higher volume of vehicle collisions. Based on traffic data and recent reports, several intersections in Omaha consistently rank among the most dangerous for drivers. These locations tend to involve a mix of high speeds, multiple lanes, frequent lane changes, or limited visibility.
Some of the intersections that have been associated with a higher number of crashes in recent years include:
- 132nd and Center Street
- 72nd and Dodge Street
- 90th and Maple Street
- 120th and L Street
- Q Street and 72nd Street
- 108th and Maple Street
These intersections see thousands of vehicles each day. Even with signals and signage, drivers often make risky left turns, speed through yellow lights, or misjudge distances — all of which contribute to rear-end collisions, side impacts, or pedestrian accidents.
Factors That Make Certain Intersections More Dangerous
Some intersections become known hotspots for accidents due to design issues, heavy traffic flow, or a combination of both. A few common risk factors include:
- Poor visibility due to curves, trees, or buildings
- High traffic volume during rush hours
- Short turning lanes or unclear lane markings
- Speeding and distracted driving
- Inadequate pedestrian crossings
Understanding where accidents frequently occur can help drivers approach these areas with greater caution. However, even the most careful drivers can still be involved in a crash due to someone else’s reckless or negligent behavior.
