Car accidents are a serious problem in Allegheny County. According to the most recent data available from PennDOT, there were 11,609 crashes in the county in 2006. Seventy of those crashes resulted in deaths and 5,610 of them resulted in injuries.

In an effort to reduce the number of traffic accidents in the Pittsburgh region, WTAE-TV has released the areas where the most speeding tickets are given. Hopefully, knowing that the police are watching will encourage drivers to slow down.

Here are the 10 areas of the city where increased police vigilance has resulted in high numbers of speeding citations:

1.    Pittsburgh, PA – Route 51 near Edgebrook Avenue
2.    Butler Township, Butler County – Route 422 at Duffy Road overpass
3.    Bethel Park – Bethel Church Road between Logan and Brookside
4.    North Huntingdon – Route 30 at Bob's Service Station
5.    Ross Township – McKnight Road at Nelson
6.    Neville Township
7.    Osborne Township – Route 65
8.    Butler – Main Street Butler
9.    Leetsdale
10.  Rochester Boro, Beaver County – Route 65

Please be careful while you are driving – put away cell phones, obey the speed limit, and never drink and drive.
