The 10 Most Dangerous Intersections in Chandler, According to Two Years of ADOT Data

Chandler's crash concentrations follow its technology corridor. In the Metro Phoenix Dangerous Intersections Study — the two-year ADOT-data analysis published by our sister outlet AZ Crash Data — one road anchors four of the city's ten highest-crash intersections. Here they are for 2023-2024, exactly as the study ranks them.

Chandler

| Rank | Intersection | Crashes | People injured | Deaths | |---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Chandler Blvd & Price Rd | 84 | 32 | 0 | | 2 | Price Rd & Ray Rd | 83 | 15 | 0 | | 3 | Arizona Ave & Warner Rd | 70 | 40 | 1 | | 4 | Dobson Rd & Ray Rd | 65 | 38 | 0 | | 5 | Germann Rd & Gilbert Rd | 65 | 21 | 0 | | 6 | Gilbert Rd & Ocotillo Rd | 61 | 35 | 0 | | 7 | Frye Rd & Price Rd | 61 | 23 | 0 | | 8 | Price Rd & Queen Creek Rd | 60 | 32 | 0 | | 9 | Arizona Ave & Ocotillo Rd | 51 | 26 | 0 | | 10 | Alma School Rd & Queen Creek Rd | 51 | 18 | 0 |

What stands out in the Chandler data

• Price Road appears four times — at Chandler Blvd, Ray, Frye, and Queen Creek — including the top two crossings. The Loop 101/202 frontage corridor through the tech-employment core carries the city's heaviest concentrated crash activity.
• Arizona Ave & Warner Rd is the severity standout: third by crashes but first in people injured (40) and the only crossing in the table with a death. High injury counts relative to crashes often track with higher speeds and angle-crash exposure.
• The city's growth edge shows up: Ocotillo and Queen Creek Road crossings take four of the ten spots, reflecting south Chandler's build-out and climbing traffic volumes.

Reading this as a driver

The data points Chandler drivers at two different patterns: congestion-driven counts on the Price corridor, and higher-severity crossings on the Arizona Avenue spine. The same no-cost habits fit both — generous gaps on unprotected lefts, a beat after the green, and measured speeds on the wide south-Chandler arterials.
