The top five locations are:
• Quivira at 106th Street, which recorded 35 accidents
• 75th and Metcalf, 31 accidents
• College and Quivira, 29 accidents
• 119th and Nall, 28 accidents and
• Quivira and 103rd Street, 27 accidents
Two of the intersections from the top 10 list will be under going significant improvements this year. Overland Park has begun the project to widen Quivira from four to six lanes from I-435 north to 99th Street.
Information gleaned from high accident locations is used to increase safety and traffic enforcement.
