Why Intersections Like 38th St and Sherman Dr See Frequent Accidents
E 38th St is one of Indianapolis’s busiest corridors, carrying both local and commuter traffic across the city. Intersections such as N Sherman Dr see high crash rates due to heavy congestion, frequent turning vehicles, and limited driver patience during peak travel times.
Collisions in these areas can easily cause injuries, even at moderate speeds, because of side impacts and the sheer number of vehicles passing through. For eastside residents, the dangers at intersections like 38th and Sherman remain a daily reality.
City officials continue to emphasize defensive driving habits—slowing down for lights, yielding when uncertain, and maintaining safe following distances—to reduce injury crashes in these high-traffic zones.
