Most Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Broward County

Broward County is the second most dangerous county in Florida for vehicle accidents — trailing only Miami-Dade — and Florida itself leads the nation in intersection crashes with 5.19 per 100,000 residents. When you live and drive in Broward County, knowing where accidents happen most often isn't just useful for safety. If you are injured at one of these documented locations, that history can actually strengthen your personal injury claim. Most Dangerous Roads and Intersections in Broward County I-95 Through Broward County Florida's most dangerous highway cuts directly through Broward County from the Miami-Dade line to Palm Beach County. In Fort Lauderdale alone, more than a dozen fatal crashes were recorded in a recent five-year span between Marina Mile Boulevard and West Sunrise Boulevard — with fatality clusters at the Davie Boulevard and West Broward Boulevard interchanges. High speeds, lane changes, and heavy commercial truck traffic make I-95 the county's deadliest corridor. Atlantic Boulevard and US-1 (Pompano Beach) This intersection recorded more than 6,000 accidents in a single year — the highest volume of any intersection in Broward County. Atlantic Boulevard (SR 814) runs the full width of northern Broward, and its crossing with US-1 in Pompano Beach creates a constant convergence of commercial, residential, and beach-bound traffic. Sample Road (Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, Margate) Sample Road is one of the most accident-prone east-west corridors in northern Broward. Its intersections with University Drive and US-441 in Coral Springs and Coconut Creek consistently rank among the most dangerous in the region — heavy cross-traffic, commercial development, and Florida Turnpike interchange access all contribute. The Most Dangerous Intersections in Coral Springs According to local traffic data, the highest-crash intersections in Coral Springs include Sample Road & University Drive, Royal Palm Blvd & University Drive, Sample Road & US-441, Wiles Road & US-441, and Atlantic Blvd & University Drive. The Sawgrass Expressway bordering Coral Springs to the west adds high-speed truck accident risk at its interchanges. US-441 (State Road 7) US-441 is a heavily trafficked commercial corridor running the full length of Broward County from Hallandale Beach to Coral Springs. Its most dangerous stretches run through Lauderdale Lakes, Margate, Tamarac, and North Lauderdale, with multiple high-crash intersections at Commercial Boulevard, McNab Road, and Sample Road. Broward Boulevard (Fort Lauderdale and Plantation) Broward Boulevard has been the site of multiple fatal accidents including a well-documented triple-fatality crash near NW 69th Avenue in Plantation. High speeds, commercial traffic, and frequent pedestrian crossings make it one of the county's most dangerous east-west roads. West Oakland Park Boulevard and NW 50th Avenue (Sunrise) This intersection is consistently documented as the most dangerous in the city of Sunrise and among the worst in Broward County. High traffic from the nearby Sawgrass Mills Mall area contributes to year-round crash volume. Pines Boulevard and South Flamingo Road (Pembroke Pines) State Farm Insurance once designated this intersection the most dangerous in the entire United States. Over a five-year period, approximately 100 pedestrians were fatally injured here. While road improvements have since been made, this corridor remains one of South Florida's most hazardous. Loxahatchee Road (Parkland) Parkland's most notorious road has claimed over a dozen lives in the past decade. Narrow lanes, canal-adjacent hazards, and historically inadequate guardrails have made Loxahatchee Road a deadly corridor — and in some cases, the road design itself may give rise to government liability claims. What This Means for Your Personal Injury Case When accidents occur repeatedly at the same location, it can indicate a design defect, inadequate signage, poor lighting, or a maintenance failure. This matters for your case in two important ways. First, the documented history of accidents at that location supports your claim that the road or intersection was unreasonably dangerous. Second, if a government entity is responsible for maintaining that road, they may share liability for your injuries — but claims against government entities have strict notice deadlines and procedural requirements. An experienced Broward County personal injury attorney will investigate whether road conditions contributed to your accident, identify all liable parties, and move quickly to preserve evidence before it disappears.
