oh. so the AP hill intersection isn't the most dangerous then.

Probably not a lot of pedestrians trying to cross right there.

yeah i missed the part about it being only pedestrians. but it's not like no one lives there. if it was really a dangerous intersection than pedestrians would be getting hit too.

It's not a super walkable area though, there aren't a lot of businesses right around that intersection so the only reason to cross it would be if you were walking to someone's house. There's the school too but parents probably aren't letting their kids walk across that intersection to go there either. Look at all the intersections on this map and you will notice they are all in commercial areas.

When you look at car accidents, the intersection of Hermitage and Laburnum is #3 most dangerous (source)

It doesn’t look like that intersection is in the area of focus. But also you’re taking your life into your hands if you try to cross there. Even when the crossing guards are there at Holton arrival and dismissal, I still see some reckless as driving.

But if I remember the conversation on the dangers of the AP Hill intersection correctly, it was around crashes, not pedestrian injury/deaths.

it includes an intersection at willow lawn that is not in the area of focus. I did overlook this being only pedestrian related accidents though. that could explain it.
