Watch Out! This Is The Busiest Intersection In Amarillo, Texas.

People in Amarillo, Texas talk a lot about how Amarillo still has that "small-town spirit". We may have a small-town spirit, but our city is a hectic place. Recently, I came across a study on the amount of traffic going through intersections in Amarillo, and the numbers were insane. According to the numbers, here's the busiest intersection in Amarillo, Texas.

Which Intersection In Amarillo, Texas Has The Most Traffic?

The report, which you can find on the City of Amarillo website, shows the number of vehicles entering an intersection in a 24-hour period. When you first start looking at the list, there isn't anything too surprising. Then, you land on page three.

According to the study, the busiest intersection in Amarillo is Soncy and I-40 West. In 24 hours, there were 54,899 vehicles that entered the intersection. The second busiest was Soncy and SW 34th. There were 50,008 vehicles that entered that intersection in 24 hours.

A Reminder To Pay Attention And Drive With Caution

It's crazy to think of almost 55,000 vehicles making their way through an intersection in Amarillo in 24 hours. Really makes that "small town" thing people talk about seem like pure nonsense. That's a lot of vehicles.

For whatever reason, it makes me nervous. With what we know about the way people drive in this area, knowing that almost 55,000 vehicles are traveling through just one intersection in 24 hours is enough to give you anxiety. It's absolutely insane.

I'm using this as a reminder to pay close attention to what's going on when behind the wheel. Drive with caution. Be aware of your surroundings.

Drive safe out there.
