Map reveals Stavropol's most dangerous intersections for accidents
If you think some intersections in Stavropol are «cursed,» it«s not just a feeling—it»s statistics. At the request of 26.RU, the Stavropol Krai State Traffic Inspectorate named the road sections where accidents with casualties most often occur.
We plotted them on a map and compiled a top-10 list of the city«s most accident-prone spots. Over a year, more than 68 people were injured at these intersections. The leaders of this negative ranking are several busy sections used daily by thousands of drivers and pedestrians.
The most accident-prone intersections were identified as: 50 Let VLKSM Street – Tukhachevsky Street, Dovatorsev Street – Kosmonavtov Street, Mira Street – Lva Tolstogo Street. And the most problematic district in terms of the number of accidents with casualties overall is the Industrial District of Stavropol.

50 Let VLKSM Street, houses 20B, 33, 35B — 3 accidents, 6 injured
50 Let VLKSM Street – Tukhachevsky Street — 6 accidents, 8 injured
50 Let VLKSM Street, houses 8B, 11/1, 23B — 5 accidents, 7 injured

The analysis also revealed dangerous temporal patterns:
the most accident-prone day of the week — Wednesday (7 accidents),
followed by Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday,
the most dangerous time — from 8:00 PM to midnight,
the most accident-prone month — May.
The State Traffic Inspectorate emphasizes: the causes of accidents on these sections hardly change from year to year. Among the main ones — failure to observe right of way and traffic light signals, incorrect positioning of vehicles on the roadway, entering oncoming traffic lanes, ignoring road signs and pedestrian crossings, failure to maintain distance, and driving without a driver«s license.
The editorial board of 26.RU reminds all road users: be attentive behind the wheel and at pedestrian crossings.
