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

Goodyear's numbers in the Metro Phoenix Dangerous Intersections Study — the two-year ADOT-data analysis published by our sister outlet AZ Crash Data — are smaller than the big cities' but unusually injury-dense. Here are the city's ten highest-crash intersections for 2023-2024, exactly as the study ranks them.

Goodyear

| Rank | Intersection | Crashes | People injured | Deaths | |---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Litchfield Rd & McDowell Rd | 49 | 36 | 0 | | 2 | Litchfield Rd & Van Buren St | 40 | 31 | 0 | | 3 | Estrella Pkwy & Van Buren St | 39 | 29 | 0 | | 4 | Bullard Ave & Yuma Rd | 36 | 25 | 0 | | 5 | Cotton Ln & Yuma Rd | 34 | 16 | 0 | | 6 | Estrella Pkwy & Roosevelt St | 33 | 13 | 0 | | 7 | Indian School Rd & Litchfield Rd | 32 | 21 | 2 | | 8 | Bullard Ave & McDowell Rd | 25 | 15 | 0 | | 9 | McDowell Rd & Pebble Creek Pkwy | 25 | 14 | 0 | | 10 | Litchfield Rd & Yuma Rd | 23 | 17 | 0 |

What stands out in the Goodyear data

• The injury ratios run high: the top crossing injured 36 people on 49 crashes, the second 31 on 40, the third 29 on 39 — injury-per-crash profiles well above what the bigger cities' top tens show, a pattern that often tracks with higher arterial speeds.
• Litchfield Road appears four times (McDowell, Van Buren, Indian School, Yuma), including the #1 crossing and the table's only fatal entry — Indian School & Litchfield, with two deaths.
• Both deaths at one crossing: unlike neighboring Surprise, where fatalities scattered, Goodyear's two deaths both occurred at Indian School & Litchfield.

Reading this as a driver

For Goodyear drivers the data points at the Litchfield spine and the Van Buren crossings, with the injury numbers arguing for measured speeds on the wide West Valley arterials. The same no-cost habits apply: generous gaps on unprotected lefts and a beat after the green, especially at Indian School & Litchfield.
