Additionally, Flagstaff had two deaths from accidents in 2019, down by two from 2018. Hernandez said those fatalities include pedestrian versus vehicle accidents.

“We did see the decrease, which is good, but we’d like to see that number at zero fatalities,” he said.

Yearly data from the Flagstaff Police Department’s most recent annual report shows measuring and predicting collisions can be difficult.

The amount of collisions that occur at the intersection of East Ponderosa Parkway and East Butler Avenue varies. In 2018, there were 33 collisions at the intersection, the second highest in the city. The year before that, the intersection only had eight collisions. But in 2016, the intersection had 44 collisions.

While it can be hard to predict, there are still some areas that normally see traffic violations. The intersection of North Country Club and North Highway 89 was the highest contributor in 2018 with 36 collisions. Other dangerous intersections were North Highway 89 and East Marketplace Drive, South Woodlands Village Boulevard and West University Avenue, and West Butler Avenue and South Milton Road.
