SAN ANGELO – The San Angelo City Council Tuesday approved a contract for design improvement at six of the city's most dangerous intersections during its regular meeting.  

During the presentation to council,  Operations Director Patrick Frerich listed six of the most dangerous intersections. This list was determined by the number of crashes at those intersections.

The following were determined to be among the most dangerous intersections in San Angelo according to the TxDOT Study.
