Last year alone, the Los Angeles Police Department said there were 47 accidents - the most of any intersection in Los Angeles - making it the most dangerous intersection in the city for drivers and pedestrians.
tsmz65 Arminians are always speeding through here from woodman Ave to Van Nuys Blvd and sepulveda Blvd and its on Sherman way which is annoying once they crash they blame the other drivers
I drive through this intersection often. It wouldn't be so dangerous if people would follow the speed limit, avoid last minute lane changes and stay off the phones.
Seriously I was shocked when I saw 3 car accidents around there within few weeks when I was commuting that area in the morning. one car was literally flipping upside down. certain area definitely has higher accident rate statistically and so wondering why and now it makes sense.
I agree. If people followed road law 99% of crashes could easily never have occurred. Just keep your eyes on the road, follow the traffic signs and speed limit and hope others do the same.
@@l.a.2206 we don't need more cops there, theres a combination of rich people who don't fuc cing work and are on their leisure and those of whom are rushing to work.. add those who leave early enough on time to make it despite traffic and it makes you idiots go crazy. Step on the pettle !
Lol as a SoCal Lyft driver, there are other intersections that are far more crazy. One that comes to mind is the intersection near the Citadel Outlets.
Homeless people walk out in front of cars Cars jam on Brakes , last one in line gets blamed for bumper damage You think they would address a know problem Nope
I currently live and work around that area ..bad drivers, always speeding and never have patients. I currently dont have a car and always walk that street. So i always watch where im going and watch cars too...
I lived at the San Regis apartments at that intersection for almost 3 years. Walked to that CVS and the HHC weedshop all the time. Crazy that I never once saw an accident there.
Grew up in reseda on a main street it’s been overly populated since the early 90s & what doesn’t help is the lack of law enforcement regulating speeds drunk drivers aggressive clowns etc.
Agreed. Just the other day some asshole blatantly ran a red light like no big deal only to wait at the next light. They should not be able to get away with this.
I remember passing this intersection all the time in the mid 2000’s when i would go visit family. To be honest that intersection looks like it is stuck in a time warp.
I drive to work on Sherman Way and Sepulveda and it is a busy street but people aren't patient because that light only last like 25 seconds and everyone tries to run those red lights.
There is an intersection in Massachusetts that has no light and only yield signs. I think it 5 or 6t otal lanes crossing it and it gets a lot of traffic. Amazingly there is barely any accidents on that intersection.
They've been putting in horrid round abouts everywhere across the nation. I especially hate them at the end of the interstate exit ramps. I always curse out the idiots that designed them when I see one! I'm a semi truck driver and round abouts are dangerous because they are built for cars and don't take in consideration semi tractors with trailers at all. I would have to stop and be extra careful when I went, timing the other vehicles that I didn't hit any car that had no clue that I can't see them as I'm turning at times so they speed up and invade my turning radius. They don't realize that my trailer will cross lines and go over curves on some round abouts. Stupid! Dangerous for me and the motoring public that I am supposed to protect. I've never encountered one while driving a car, there isn't any where I live thank goodness. I'm sure that is better for me BUT I'D KEEP MY DISTANCE FROM A SEMI IF I WAS DRIVING A CAR BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT I KNOW! If these morons start putting in the shitty round abouts in the LA county there are those that will riot and go on killing sprees over it. They won't just deal with it. I used to live in the SF valley I know. The damn place is frustrating enough...round abouts will unhinge people!
As a cyclist, I pedaled that route everyday for years going to Fulton middle school and teaching there, as I pedaled home I have to say the cars around me were always very polite, I never tried to claim a full lane from any car, will not challenge them to a lane ever, and ride those bike lanes. I always showed the cars consideration and let them pass me when I saw the coming too close, and they never once were mean/rude to me! Now that I know that intersection is whack, Im glad I finally retired from that job!
I'm disabled because of raised grooves on a road in whittier... the road was fixed and the lawyers for the city put the blame on speeding.... not the poor road conditions....I can imagine all the people left broke and disabled like I am because of that intersection. Whittier blvd and Hadley is the intersection that screwed me good....
I agree. Even van nuys nordoff, reseda and nordhoff, van nuys and van owen, I can make a list. All people do is speed and not paying no attention. Put those camera back up.
I miss my old hood foo I grow up there wit tht ogs n tht homies from tht Sur13💙miss them old days RIP .:SPARKS :.💙 Vanowen Radford st where we was hangin out n here
Also Gage and Broadway / Main / Avalon! I dont know to how many people I showed the middle finger for speeding or trying to make a fast turn while I'm crossing the street!They should put cameras in these streets to fine these nutty people!
Foward 2023 North Hollywood/ Van Nuys streets and intersections are even more dangerous. Closer than streets are a challenge to say the least drivers not paying attention, looking at their smartphones, or driving angry aggressive.
every la intersection is screwed up.. this statistic is just a coincidence that this many crashed at this particular intersection. .. sounds like van nuys drivers may be the issue here. lol
I live on the block n it's safe to say that the drivers need to go back to driving school cuz everyone drives way too fast for no reason it's crowded so u have to take it slow some drivers just don't have patience and it's alot of intersections like Sherman way and van nuys has the same promblems
I live yards away from that intersection. For pedestrians one of the main dangers is drivers making a right turn on green without checking for crossing pedestrians.
Get people to start walking or carpool with your friends or just take shorter trips. Also start riding motorcycles to cut through traffic jams. This is a result of everyone and their grandma wanting to drive by themselves 30 miles a day.
Bruh I live in Van Nuys and super close to that area, I can agree that Sepulveda is hella fucken crowded and dangerous I guess. People do use Sepulveda as a racing track but especially at night when the road is clear, since Sepulveda is kinda wide it is perfect racing track. There’s always car crashes right in front of my apartment and me and my sister always make fun and say that there some type of Brujeria shit happening cuz they always crash in front 😂🤦🏼♀️
People pulling into or out of driveways forcing people to slam on their brakes probably attributes to why they suspect a lot of people “speed”. LA also has some of the poorest maintenance on peoples’ roads. I think everybody here makes valid points especially because in the rain, a lot of people do not adjust for the road conditions and they drive so close to people on city streets, so at a lot of intersections many rear end collisions happen.
Yes and Burbank Blvd with Lankershim. The idiots who try to cut the main lane off when they are suppose to turn only. Right where Burbank turns into a one lane. 🙄
Washington and Soto is way worse. Same traffic and the majority of vehicles are commercial vehicles like cement trucks, liquid transporters and 53 footers along with uneven raised asphalt.
I live down the street from there and off Sherman way and don’t drive down it I go back streets always the drivers are too aggressive or too rude to put up wit on a daily it has become VERY CROWDED in Van Nuys with all kinds of people smdh
