Car accidents can happen anywhere, but certain intersections in Mesa, Arizona, are more dangerous than others. Whether you're a local resident or just driving through, being aware of high-risk areas can help you stay alert and avoid potential collisions. Below are the top 5 intersections for car crashes in Mesa, based on traffic data and local reports, along with tips for staying safe.


1. US 60 & Country Club Drive

This is one of Mesa’s busiest freeway interchanges, where high-speed traffic merges with heavy local commuting. Multiple lanes, fast merges, and frequent congestion contribute to rear-end and side-impact crashes.

Safety Tip: Always leave extra space between vehicles and avoid last-minute lane changes.


2. Dobson Road & Southern Avenue

This high-traffic commercial intersection sees many accidents due to heavy turning traffic and aggressive driving during peak hours.

Safety Tip: Approach with caution, especially during rush hour. Yield carefully when turning left.


3. Power Road & University Drive

Located near schools and residential neighborhoods, this area sees a mix of teen drivers, families, and commercial vehicles—a risky combination.

Safety Tip: Watch for pedestrians and school zones. Keep your speed in check, especially mid-morning and after school hours.


4. Mesa Drive & Main Street

With Valley Metro Light Rail traffic and dense downtown congestion, this intersection has a high rate of both car and pedestrian accidents.

Safety Tip: Obey traffic signals, and be extra cautious of light rail crossings and jaywalking pedestrians.


5. Gilbert Road & Baseline Road

This busy intersection near shopping centers is known for frequent fender benders and red-light running accidents.

Safety Tip: Don’t assume the light is green just because traffic is moving. Always scan intersections carefully before entering.


What to Do If You’re Injured in a Mesa Car Accident
