Based on data analysis and trends observed in previous years, the following highways are among those that have historically reported the most accidents:
Interstate 71 (I-71): Running north-south through Cincinnati, I-71 is a major interstate highway that connects the city with other parts of Ohio. Its high traffic volume, especially during rush hours and peak travel times, contributes to a greater number of accidents.
Interstate 75 (I-75): Another major interstate highway, I-75 traverses Cincinnati from north to south, intersecting with several other highways and serving as a primary route for commuters and commercial vehicles. Accidents on I-75 are common, particularly in areas with heavy congestion and construction zones.
Interstate 275 (I-275): Forming a beltway around the Cincinnati metropolitan area, I-275 experiences a significant volume of traffic, including both local commuters and through-traffic. Accidents on I-275 can occur at various locations along its route, particularly in areas with complex interchanges and merging lanes.
Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway (SR-126): This east-west highway provides a crucial link between various neighborhoods and suburbs in the Cincinnati area. Its multiple interchanges and high-speed traffic can contribute to accidents, especially during periods of heavy congestion or inclement weather.
US Route 50 (US-50): Also known as Columbia Parkway, US-50 follows the Ohio River and connects eastern Cincinnati with downtown and the western suburbs. Accidents on US-50 are common, particularly in areas with sharp curves, limited sightlines, and high traffic volume.
These highways are identified based on historical accident data and the observations of local authorities and transportation agencies.
