In the City of Montgomery May be the most unsafe Road tor Auto traffic in greater Cincinnati. This rather glum conclusion was one of the findings of planner Jack Pflum in phase ii of a comprehensive traffic study for the City. With 63 accidents per mile per year Montgomery re. Corridor has roughly twice the number of accidents it should have Pflum Siad. The Only area comparable in its very High Accident rate May be the intersection of Reading and Seymour roads Pflum speculated. The High Accident rate on Montgomery re.
