The L.A. Times reports on traffic engineer James Moore’s findings of the 10 worst interactions in the city.
Hyperion and Fountain ranked the 9th worst:
Silver Lake
Facts: 3rd highest traffic volume of any intersection; 38 traffic collisions since 2010
Why so bad: “T-intersection designed for a continuous right turn off the more trafficked street (Hyperion),” Moore wrote.
Mitigating factors: This marks an important change in the L.A. grid. Fountain, a key east-west corridor through Hollywood and West Hollywood, turns north and becomes Hyperion, which runs north toward Glendale.
