West Omaha’s Most Dangerous Intersections: How to Stay Safe This Fall
As the sun sets earlier and fall weather settles over West Omaha, local roads begin to change in ways that even seasoned drivers can underestimate. Shorter days, glare from headlights, and unpredictable moisture can quickly turn a familiar commute into a serious crash. When faced with such situations, contacting a West Omaha personal injury attorney can be crucial.
At Berry Law’s West Omaha office — 14772 W Center Rd, Omaha, NE 68144 — our team has seen firsthand how a single intersection can alter someone’s life. Each season brings new risks for drivers and pedestrians alike, and understanding those risks is the first step toward prevention. A West Omaha personal injury attorney can help you understand and navigate these risks.
Berry Law’s new office at 14752 W Center Rd expands the firm’s presence in Omaha—continuing its 60-year mission of defending the rights of the seriously injured and standing beside America’s Veterans.
Where Crashes Happen Most in West Omaha
Our office is surrounded by several intersections consistently ranked among the city’s most dangerous. Local data and safety reports point to these high-risk areas:
- 132nd Street & Industrial Road (Millard)
- 132nd Street & West Center Road (Millard)
- 204th Street & Fort Street (Elkhorn)
- 120th Street & L Street (Millard)
- 176th Street & Q Street (Southwest Omaha)
These intersections carry heavy commuter, school, and shopping traffic. As fall turns to winter, several risk factors heighten the chance of severe collisions:
- Earlier sunsets creating glare during peak traffic
- Fog and condensation reducing depth perception
- Road glare from moisture obscuring lane markings
- Freeze–thaw cycles turning drizzle into ice overnight
- Distracted driving — even a quick glance at a text or dashboard alert steals critical seconds
Small lapses in visibility or traction can cause major injuries when heavy vehicles, motorcycles, and pedestrians share the same lanes. Engaging with a West Omaha personal injury attorney can provide guidance on next steps.
