Pedestrian Crashes in Phoenix: High-Risk Intersections
N 83rd Ave and W Camelback Rd is a major intersection in the West Valley area of Phoenix, where heavy nighttime traffic and multiple turning lanes increase the risk for pedestrian accidents. In recent years, this part of the city has seen a notable number of incidents involving pedestrians, especially during late-night hours.
Arizona consistently ranks among the states with the highest rates of pedestrian fatalities. Contributing factors include low lighting, driver inattention, and inadequate pedestrian infrastructure at some intersections. Phoenix has been working on safety upgrades, including improved crosswalk visibility and traffic calming measures, to help reduce these incidents.
Victims of pedestrian crashes should seek immediate medical care, ensure the accident is documented by police, and consider consulting legal professionals—especially if injuries lead to medical expenses or lost wages. Preserving evidence and obtaining witness statements can also be critical to supporting future claims.
