Two areas in Saanich and one in Nanaimo were the top three most crash-prone spots on Vancouver Island between 2018 and 2022, according to ICBC
The number of crashes at intersections in British Columbia was higher than average last year, according to statistics from the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia.
“It’s volume-induced frustration that’s leading to poor judgments — and collisions,” Foord said Monday. “Everywhere you drive, it’s busy now … it takes you longer to go from Point A to Point B, and it’s that volume that brings out negative driver behaviours.He said some drivers are no longer just running yellow lights — they’re racing through red lights, too, sometimes crashing into someone who’s been waiting in the intersection to make a left-hand turn.
Saanich also ranked in the top three for the intersection of Blanshard Street and Saanich Road, with 255 crashes. The intersection where Douglas and Government streets meet Gorge Road and Hillside Avenue reported the same number of collisions.
