Winter in Duluth leads to some particularly challenging travel situations. The steep hills mixed with snow and ice make for difficult and dangerous situations. I reached out to the Duluth Police Department to find out the most dangerous intersections in Duluth for this year.

This information I got includes reported car crashes from 11/1/2021 through 4/30/2022. I will say that I feel like the road construction made for different reports this year as a lot of ramps weren't usable during winter driving.
