Since we have a chunk o' people around the Philadelphia area, I thought this might be of interest.

Is there any way we can get an updated figure on this? It's 2 years old and Tulsa has gotten much higher in the top 10, I'm sure. By now we should be pushing #1 and possibly have more than 2 spots. Actually, I think that the 51st and Memorial area has gotten better...they all moved 2 miles away to the 71st area...I knew there was a reason that I hated to go to that part of town. :eek:

The two in NE Philadelphia are indeed dangerous places...largely because of those proverbial "pink" lights. Folks just don't stop for red lights anymore. Everybody's in a hurry. The road is very, very wide with two three-lane sections in each direction. ("Express" in the middle) and folks get caught broadside all too often, not to mention in rear-enders. These intersections are also very, very busy as they are feeders to and from major residential and shopping sections of that part of the city. Personally...I never go there!

Greg,

Call or email State Farm and ask them to update their web site with new data.

Greg - I agree I would think 51ST would be #1. 71st and Memorial used to be # 1 but has gotten better since the lanes were expanded and the Creek opened. This is one of the reasons I moved to Collinsville ( that and land is cheaper then BA)

Major league "OUCH"!!! :eek: Hope nobody was hurt bad! That's an awful lot of truck for someone to hit hard enough and cause it to rollover! Probably yakking on a c-phone when they hit you, too! :cool:
