The top five intersections with the most collisions so far this year are listed below:
- Rainbow Blvd & Flamingo Rd – 26 crashes
- Sahara Ave & Eastern Ave – 24 crashes
- Charleston Blvd & Lamb Blvd – 23 crashes
- Tropicana Ave & Jones Blvd – 22 crashes
- Sahara Ave & Maryland Pkwy – 20 crashes
"The list shows intersections that have the top collisions," Lt. Anthony Cavaricci from LVMPD's Traffic Bureau said in a video released on social media Friday. "That's everything from property damage only collisions, to your injury collisions."
The results weren't surprising to people Channel 13 spoke with at Jones and Tropicana on Friday afternoon.
"I believe it–did you just hear that tire screech? It's a mess over here, it's a really bad intersection," Kyana Knowles said. "It's super dangerous, these cars aren't paying attention. They just go whenever they want to, they run red lights–they treat it like a speedway up Jones."
"I'm not surprised," Elizabeth Theriot said. "The driving is very aggressive."

Metro Lt. Cavaricci had strong words for drivers when explaining why the department wanted to release the list of dangerous intersections right now.
"We can't afford to lose any more lives on our roadways," Cavaricci said. "The choices you make while driving potentially are deadly, and can end up in the death of yourself or another community member."
The entire list of the top 15 intersections with the most crashes in 2025—according to LVMPD—is below:
- Rainbow Blvd & Flamingo Rd – 26 crashes
- Sahara Ave & Eastern Ave – 24 crashes
- Charleston Blvd & Lamb Blvd – 23 crashes
- Tropicana Ave & Jones Blvd – 22 crashes
- Sahara Ave & Maryland Pkwy – 20 crashes
- Tropicana Ave & Koval Ln – 18 crashes
- Desert Inn Rd & Eastern Ave – 18 crashes
- Eastern Ave & Warm Springs Rd – 18 crashes
- Sahara Ave & Decatur Blvd – 18 crashes
- Las Vegas Blvd & Harmon Ave – 17 crashes
- Washington Ave & Lamb Blvd – 16 crashes
- Tropicana Ave & Decatur Blvd – 16 crashes
- Tropicana Ave & University Center Dr – 15 crashes
- Rainbow Blvd & Sahara Ave – 15 crashes
- Charleston Blvd & Nellis Blvd – 15 crashes
Even if a major intersection in your neighborhood didn't make the list, Lt. Cavaricci had a word of advice for drivers.
"At the end of the day, I think the community members need to be vigilant at every roadway they're driving on," Cavaricci said. "Any major roadway that allows for higher speeds than what is posted, drive the speed limit. Don't speed, avoid that temptation–save a life, even if it's yours."
