And if you’re wondering about the county’s most dangerous intersections, Michigan Auto Law has compiled a list for that, too.

NOTE: The list of Livingston County’s most dangerous intersections is the latest data available from 2025 for total crashes at intersections in Michigan. “Intersection” is defined as any road with a traffic signal, four-way stop or roundabout. The crash data encompasses and includes any traffic accident reported that occurred within 200 feet of an intersection including near freeways (and their subsequent on-ramps off-ramps and service streets), divided highways and rural roads.
