    I thought it would be Willingdon and and Highway 1. I guess they significantly reduced the number of crashes ever since it was realigned due to the construction. Before the exit from eastbound #1 to southbound Willingdon was really dangerous because so many cars coming off the exit has to cut across 2 lanes of traffic to get into the left turn bay to head east on Canada Way. Now the exit goes under the overpass and loops around to a traffic light controlled intersection now.

    The on ramp to Knight street southbound is a huge bottleneck with 5 lanes of traffic going into 2. I hate using it. I often take the East-West Connector instead of the Knight St. Bridge when heading into Richmond.

    In America, one of the most dangerous intersections would be Alps Road and Ratzer Road in Wayne, New Jersey. This is especially true in winter if the asphalt is icy. We used to call that spot either Killer's Bend or Suicide Junction.

    Knight Street has been the worst in Canada for a very long time.
