When he chosehis four worst intersections in Ottawa, CBC traffic reporter Doug Hempstead warned it wouldn't be a complete list.

"If we took a random poll of20 people, we'd probably get 15 different locations," he wrote.

He wasn't kidding.

We hereby present some your nominations for Ottawa's worst intersections.

I always find the north Carling/ Kirkwood intersection is a pain, as you have the Queensway merging onto Carling and there is a just a clusterbomb of cars trying to cross 3-4 lanes to turn left or even right.Jamie Mason, comments section
Or eastbound on Scott Streetjust before BronsonAvenue, where they tell people going south on Bronson to go left and people going north on Bronson to go right. It's a tourist nightmare traffic trap.Vee Robillard, comments section
The roundabout at Longfields and Cambrian in Barrhaven is a deathtrap.Todd Collings, comments section
Riverside and Heron, Merivale and Baselineintersections [are] terrible for accidents. Thanks Doug for doing a great job!!ClaudeFedorchuk, comments section
