Worst Intersection

30th @ Speedway and San Jacinto

During the day, swarms of students walk, bike, bus, and skateboard across this intersection. With five corners from which students can cross, and a plethora of ways they could jay-walk, drivers need to be extra careful for the 9am class students at 9:05. At night, the situation is different - The Crown & Anchor rests comfortably on the corner, giving the evening driver a multitude of drunk student targets. In the summer, the auto traffic is rarely notable, but during the larger part of the year, cars back up on all five corners waiting for someone else to chance the crossing first. Who needs stoplights?
