Crash Risks at Major Intersections in Coeur d’Alene
Intersections like Kathleen Avenue and Government Way are often the site of injury crashes due to a combination of factors: heavy traffic flow, frequent left turns, and close proximity to commercial driveways. As Coeur d’Alene continues to grow, these areas have become increasingly congested, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
