These are the 10 most dangerous intersections in Kelowna

If you consistently drive around Kelowna, you could probably guess a number of the city’s most dangerous intersections.

It’s no secret that busier and bigger typically means more chaos when it comes to intersections and the data backs that up in Kelowna.

Recently-published data from ICBC shows how many crashes took place throughout the entire province between 2017-21.

While it collects data on all crashes in any area, intersections are unsurprisingly the most common spot for an accident and that rings true locally.

All 10 of the most common crash locations in Kelowna are busy intersections, with seven of them along Hwy 97 (Harvey Avenue).
