Here Are A Few Of Casper’s Tricky Winter Intersections

When winter does arrive, we owe a huge thank you to every man and woman who was out early clearing the roads, parking lots, and sidewalks. It's an incredibly tough job that takes hours to complete, and it seems no one is ever satisfied. So, THANK YOU for a job well done, and we'll continue to pass along these thanks throughout the fall/winter!

I love driving around Casper and checking out all the cool landmarks, shops, stores, restaurants, and other sights. There have been many times when I've been cruising around and come to an intersection, thinking how difficult and intense it is... when it's dry. Add snow and ice, and they're downright intimidating. No matter how hard the crews work to clear them, there is nothing they can do to make them 100% safe. Hills, offset crossroads, mysterious traffic lights, and other obstacles stand in the way.

If you've spent any time on the streets of Casper, you have a pretty good idea of where those trouble spots are. We asked you which intersections you were worried about when it starts snowing and gets slippery, and the answers were very similar. Actually, all but one of the answers were on the South side of I-25, and the one that is on the North side is actually located at the intersection of the I-25 on-ramp.

I'm not sure what can be done to fix these problem areas (that's above our pay grade), but one suggestion is to try to avoid the intersections that give you butterflies when you approach them. See if you agree with your Casper neighbors on which intersections are the worst for winter driving.
