These 25 Intersections in Maine Had the Most Crashes in 2024

We all have that intersection we drive through in Maine where you take extra care to drive defensively because you know that if you aren't looking out for the other drivers, they could easily run into you.

There could be all sorts of reasons these intersections cause your knuckles to turn white as you grip the steering wheel. Cars travel too fast. There are 5 lanes of traffic and the person is in the farthest lane from the one they want to be in. Drivers come zooming down highway off-ramps and don't bother to yield when merging into traffic. Some drivers may be unfamiliar with an intersection and cause an accident because they don't know what to do.

The Maine DOT keeps a record of every car accident in Maine and makes that data available to the public. You can search their database to find crash data in your town and know which intersection has the most accidents. You can search by town, county, police department, or the entire state.

After making a list based on responses from my Facebook friends when asked what they thought was the worst intersection in Maine, I wanted to put some real data behind it. So, I searched MaineDOT's cash data to find the top 25 intersections in Maine that had the most crashes in 2024. From as far north as Bangor and as far south as Sanford, there are towns and cities with an intersection in the top 25.

Here's the list, and wait until you see what the top 3 intersections all have in common.
