Why does the state's dangerous intersection list name none of these?
The state measured pedestrian deaths on state highways from 2018 to 2022. We counted injury crashes at every named intersection in 2024 and 2025.
The state named its ten in January 2025: three on Routes 1 and 9 in Elizabeth, two on Route 129 in Trenton, two on Route 9 in Old Bridge and three on Route 27. NJDOT estimated improvements at about 100,000 dollars per location.
See the full table
| State's corridor | Busiest intersection in the corridor | Injury crashes | Deaths |
|---|---|---|---|
| Routes 1 and 9 at East Grand Street, Elizabeth | US 1 (Herbert Highway) at East Grand Street | 4 | 1 |
| Route 129 at Lalor Street, Trenton | Route 129 at Lalor Street | 3 | 0 |
| Route 129 at Cass Street, Trenton | Route 129 at Cass Street | 3 | 0 |
| Route 9, Old Bridge | US 9 at Perrine Road, and US 9 at Ferry Road | 3 each | 0 |
| Route 27, Franklin Township | Route 27 (Somerset Street) at Matilda Avenue | 7 | 0 |
| Route 27, Roselle | Route 27 (St Georges Avenue) at Park Avenue | 11 | 0 |
Elizabeth shows the gap best. The state targets Routes 1 and 9 at East Grand Street, with 4 injury crashes and 1 death. Along East Grand Street, the Reid Street corner had 24, second in the state.
In Trenton, NJDOT added red-light extension and pedestrian detection on Route 129 in autumn 2022 and told NJ Spotlight that pedestrian crashes there fell by more than half. Our pedestrian crash guide covers what happens after someone on foot is struck.2
What kind of crash happens most at these intersections?
Right-angle and left-turn crashes: one of the two is the most common type at 24 of the 25. At Clementon's number one, 25 of 47 crashes were right-angle.
The exception is Communipaw Avenue at Route 440 in Jersey City, where same-direction sideswipes and rear-ends lead. Statewide right-angle totals sit on our side-impact crash guide.
Fault at a corner usually turns on the signal phase and who entered first; see real NJ fault splits. For the hours crashes peak, see when most NJ crashes happen.
What is the deadliest road in New Jersey?
Route 1 recorded the most deaths of the 29 state, US and interstate routes we profile: 50 people killed in 2023 and 2024, with 4,601 injured.
See the full table
| Road | People killed | Injury crashes | People injured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Route 1 | 50 | 3,253 | 4,601 |
| Garden State Parkway | 40 | 3,461 | 4,763 |
| White Horse Pike (Route 30) | 33 | 856 | 1,239 |
| Route 130 | 30 | 1,309 | 1,881 |
| Route 9 | 27 | 2,158 | 2,939 |
Our White Horse Pike accident data counts 31 at Gibbsboro Road, not 25. It counts every Route 30 crash naming that cross street; this ranking counts only crashes NJDOT flags as intersection crashes.
Per crash, a smaller road can be deadlier: Route 55 had 9.6 deaths per 1,000 crashes in 2023 and 2024, almost 4 times the state average of 2.5.3

How we counted
NJDOT crash records for 2024 (265,827 crashes) and preliminary 2025 (261,286), normalized by the nj-crashes project, which adds State Police fatal crashes. An intersection is a named street pair in one town among the 101,680 crashes NJDOT flags as intersection crashes, reversed street orders merged; 2.2 percent were dropped for a blank street name.
Spelling variants are not merged (1 more Cass Street crash is filed as Route 129 Secondary), and ties are broken by all crashes. Counts say nothing about fault or claim value, and 2023 is excluded because NJDOT changed its street-name format that year.
