Every year, hundreds of pedestrians are injured or killed on Chicago streets. Recent statistics reveal a surge in pedestrian accidents, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness and safety measures.
Let's explore some of the most dangerous intersections for pedestrians in Chicago.
In downtown Chicago, several intersections are notorious for pedestrian accidents:
N. Milwaukee Ave/W. North Ave/N. Damen Ave: This bustling intersection sees heavy foot and vehicle traffic, creating a hazardous environment for pedestrians.
N. Cicero Ave and W. Chicago Ave: Known for its high accident rate, this intersection is particularly dangerous due to its complex traffic flow.
Other risky intersections include N. Halsted St/N. Lincoln Ave/W. Fullerton Ave, S. Cottage Grove Ave and E. 79th St, and N. Dearborn St and W. Ontario St. Factors like high traffic volume and poor visibility contribute to their danger.
Suburban areas aren't immune to these risks. Here are some of the most dangerous suburban intersections:
N. McCormick Blvd and W. Touhy Ave (Skokie): Frequent pedestrian traffic and fast-moving vehicles create a perilous mix.
S. Cicero Ave and W. Cermak Rd (Cicero): This busy intersection sees numerous accidents due to its high traffic density.
Other hazardous spots include U.S. Route 12 and W. Cermak Rd (Westchester), Shermer Rd and W. Dempster St (Morton Grove), and N. La Grange Rd and W. Ogden Ave (La Grange).
Accidents often occur in high-traffic tourist areas like Michigan Avenue, Wrigley Field, and the Convention Center. Tourists unfamiliar with Chicago’s traffic laws and signals are particularly vulnerable.
Chicago’s weather, especially winter conditions, significantly contributes to pedestrian accidents. Ice and snow make roads slippery, reducing vehicle control and increasing the risk of accidents.
For drivers: Avoid distractions, check mirrors often, adhere to speed limits, and always use turn signals. For pedestrians: Stay alert, wear bright clothing at night, look both ways before crossing, and use sidewalks whenever possible.
