Washington Post’s Ashley Halsey poses this question to readers:

“The Washington region is notorious for congested traffic. Is one intersection worse than all the rest? If you know of one, tell us in two sentences, where it is and what makes it the worst. Send your reply to: transportation@washpost.com”

The biggest problem intersections I experience are those where it is difficult or unsafe to cross as a pedestrian, not with the most “congested traffic.”

After all, pedestrians are the ones who’ve been getting hit in alarming numbers recently, though Halsey described the incidents as pedestrians “wandering into the path” of vehicles.

Let’s do something to erase Halsey’s windshield perspective and submit emails identifying the worst intersections for pedestrians and cyclists.
