I love the asterisk explanation of the right column of numbers. That number's calculated from the whatwhat in the whatnow?

Er, guess I of all people shouldn't be so critical. :) But I just can't help myself.

Hmmmm. I don't know about this. I tried to check for the intersections in Massachusetts and the search came back empty. I'm sure that these "winning" intersections are indeed dangerous, but taking Boston drivers out of the competition - that's like when USA boycotted the 1980 Olympics.

I used to live about a mile from Fair Oaks and Howe in Sacramento (#10 on the list). The reason it's so bad is that the traffic from the Howe freeway exit backs up at the intersection. The bad traffic design and peoples' impatience creates a lot of red light runners.

I actually expected more entries on the list from the mid-west, where the kids have nothing to do but go "cruising."

That page really didn't tell me much, except that I should avoid those intersections. What would have been actually useful is to explain why they're dangerous, and what could be done to improve them.
