Philadelphia Intersections Land in Top 10 for Red-Light Deaths

Philadelphia has some of the deadliest intersections in the country.

The City of Brotherly Love saw 63 deaths at red lights from 2004 to 2013, according to a study released by the National Coalition for Safer Roads Wednesday.

THE NCSR released the data naming Philly as the 8th deadliest city for running red lights as part of its β€œStop on Red” week. Houston with 181 fatalities topped the list for red-light running deaths, which totaled nearly 8,000 nationwide over about a decade.

The NCSR study said that the most red-light deaths occurred on Fridays from 1 to 5 p.m.

The study didn't break down Philly's red-light deaths by exact location.
