Unveiling Bismarck Mandan’s Top 10 Nightmare Intersections

What are the biggest "nightmare" intersections in North Dakota?

Recently, my listeners and I had a chance to chat on air and social media about the WORST intersections in Bismarck Mandan.  There was a heated debate on which streets belonged in the top 10.

However, as far as the worst intersection in all of Bismarck Mandan it really wasn't much of a contest.  Everybody seemed to agree upon this little slice of hell.  More on that in a minute.

It's well documented that the Capital Region has some of the worst drivers in the state.  Red light runners, aggressive speed demons, dangerously slow drivers (often driving up to 20 miles or more below the speed limit), drivers who have no clue about the rules of the road, and drivers full of road rage.

So here goes, the worst intersections in all of Bismarck Mandan!

I'm curious how many of these made YOUR Top 10? Please let me know in the comments on our social media pages.

#10 Calgary & State Street.  Just about any intersection is dangerous along State Street due to the heavy traffic.

#9  1806 & Old Red Trail in Mandan.  It is another dangerous spot and one of two Mandan intersections to make the top 10.

#8  Turnpike Ave & Washington Street.  Washington Street doesn't get a lot of love in my unofficial survey.  Skinny streets, lots of heavy traffic, and very tough to turn left during rush hour.

#7  Tyler Parkway & Burnt Boat Drive.  Very pretty area, maybe too pretty as people tend to have their eyes on everywhere but the road.

#6  Rosser & 3rd.  It can be a very busy intersection, especially during rush hours.  Doesn't help with the post office and a busy bank right there.
