Intersection of Doom

The intersection of North Lynn Street, Lee Highway, Custis Trail, and Mount Vernon Trail in Arlington, VA, is known as the Intersection of Doom due to the high number of collisions that occur there between drivers heading towards Key Bridge and pedestrians/cyclists crossing between the east end of the Custis Trail and north end of the Mount Vernon Trail.
This has been a high-profile intersection, and the nickname eventually made its way out of cyclist circles into use by the general population.
