2016 was one of most deadly years on American roads in nearly a decade with over 42,000 American drivers dying in motor vehicle accidents according to data from the American National Safety Council. It is estimated that 4.6 million Americans were injured in driving accidents during the same time period with many of those occurring because of a dangerous intersection, as well as reckless driving, bad weather and more.
