As points of comparison:

- total number of accidents on Diamond, Trinity, Central, Canyon, and East Rd was 116
- total for Diamond Drive (omitting the two intersections included in the tables) was 47
Note: this time period includes two phases of construction on Diamond Drive; it's not clear whether or not this is significant.
The following table gives data for the five intersections with the largest number of accidents, this time including the entire Townsite for 2008-2009.

Not surprisingly, these intersections are among the busiest in the Townsite.
*Los Alamos' only roundabout makes it into the list of the worst five intersections for 2008-2009. However, further information is needed to determine whether these accidents occurred in the intersection or simply nearby. This ambiguity exists for many accident reports.
