Try to Avoid Yakima’s Most Dangerous Intersections

One of the beautiful things about Yakima is how the roads are mostly in grid formation.

Yakima has a lot of options when it comes from driving from one side of town to the other.

Especially during the summer, if one block is under construction you can usually turn down any road and take the next block over to get to where you need to go.

There are some intersections you drive through every day. The more populated, the more dangerous they are.
