There are some new entries on the list of the worst intersections for collisions in Windsor.
Central Avenue at the E.C. Row Expressway, Dougall Avenue at E.C. Row, and the 7600 block of Tecumseh Road East, near Tecumseh Mall, have been added to the list of the ten intersections in the city deemed the most dangerous, based on vehicle collision data collected by the Windsor Police Service in 2023.
Tecumseh Road at Ouellette Avenue, Provincial Road and Walker Road, and Dougall Avenue at West Grand Boulevard, on the list last year, have fallen out of the top ten.
A few busy traffic areas remain high on the list: E.C. Row at Howard Avenue, the 3100 block of Howard Avenue near Devonshire Mall, and the 4400 block of Walker Road in the area of Walker Square, between Legacy Park Drive and Division Road.
Those travelling through the areas on the list are encouraged to pay attention to their driving habits, as they can expect to see an increased police presence at those locations throughout the year, with the Traffic Enforcement Unit keeping an eye open for moving violations, such as disobeying stop signs, failing to stop for red lights, and speeding.

1 - E.C. Row at Howard Avenue
