COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- Central Ohio planners are out with their latest look at the region's most-dangerous crossroads.

East Livingston Ave. and Hamilton Road is at the top of the list, followed by Broad Street at James Road.

Here are the remaining intersections in the top 10:

  1.    E Livingston Avenue @ Hamilton Road/SR 317
  2.    Broad Street/SR 16 @ James Road
  3.    Cleveland Avenue @ Innis Road
