Central Florida is one of the most beautiful and exciting places in the world that a person can live, which is why Central Florida is blessed with a booming tourism industry that helps power the State’s economy.
Unfortunately, as a side effect of the influx of tourists, combined with an already populous state, the roadways around Central Florida can be a nightmare for drivers, with auto, truck, and motorcycle accidents occurring dozens of times per day around the state.

Most Dangerous Roads in Volusia County
While an auto accident can occur on any Volusia County roadway, there are several roads within the County limits, which are particularly dangerous, due to the sheer number of cars speeding down them, particularly during rush hours.
A recent, large-scale traffic safety study incorporating Volusia and Flagler County data from 2011-2015 analyzed the cause, location, and severity of over 63,000 accidents.
The study pinpointed three roads in the two-county area that are the most dangerous for motorists, based on the number of injurious accidents. Unsurprisingly, the three roads named were: Granada Boulevard and International Speedway Boulevard (ISB) in Daytona, and Dunlawton Avenue in Port Orange.
