The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission names top 10 highest crash locations from 2012-2016.

COLUMBUS - North High Street and Lane Avenue is an intersection with a dubious distinction.

And those who bike here, like Noah Taylor and Colton Thomas, know it.

"I had a really close call a few weeks ago where they were doing construction. A car was turning left and they didn't see me on the side and I almost got hit," Thomas said.

From 2012 to 2016, this intersection recorded the most bike crashes -- 11.

The study from the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission plotted high crash intersections involving bicyclists.

North High Street and Lane Avenue ranked No. 1 on the list. Summit Street and Chittenden was No. 2. West Broad Street and North Front was No. 3.

Bicyclists say staying safe means not assuming cars can see you.

For pedestrians, the one intersection you want to be careful crossing is at North Third Street and East Broad Street. From 2012 to 2016, 20 crashes were reported.

Coming at No. 2 on the list was High Street and East Broad Street. The No. 3 intersection for pedestrians getting hit was East Livingston Avenue and Hamilton Road.

In October, The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration reported nationwide it's seen an increase in pedestrian, motorcyclist and bicyclist deaths.

The report shows more people died in traffic-related crashes than in any other year in over a quarter century.

In 2016, there were 37,461 deaths on the roads.

That's a 5.6 percent increase from 2015.

Pedestrians made up the biggest number of deaths with 5,987.
