Take extra precautions during the New Year celebrations in Florida as it is home to three interstates that have made it into the 100 most dangerous roads in America. This list is compiled to rank the highways most
likely to generate a fatal accident based on five years of accident data
from the National Highway Safety Administration from nearly 250
stretches of interstate highways.
As a matter of fact, Florida Interstate 95 is ranked as the most dangerous in all of the USA! Interstate 4 is ranked at number 3 and
Interstate 75 at number 15.
Besides No. 1-ranked Interstate 95 in Florida, the rest of the top 10
most dangerous interstates included, in ranking order, I-76 in New
Jersey, I-4 in Florida, I-15 and I-10 in California, I-59 in Louisiana,
I-94 in Illinois, I-93 in Massachusetts, I-95 in Delaware and I-55 in
Tennessee.
Among the Florida interstates on the list, I-95 achieved the No. 1
ranking thanks to 662 fatal accidents between 2004-2008, which equated
to one fatal accident for every 1.73 miles along I-95’s 382.15-mile
stretch in the Sunshine State.
No. 3-ranked I-4 had 209 fatal accidents along its 132.39-mile
stretch in Florida, which equated to one fatal accident every 1.58
miles.
No. 15-ranked Interstate 75 had 536 fatal accidents along its
470.88-mile stretch, which equated to one fatal accident every 1.14
miles.
