Intersection Overview
Boulder Highway and Stewart Avenue is the defining intersection of what locals know as the most dangerous stretch of road in Henderson. Stewart Avenue feeds residential areas to the south and is a primary pedestrian crossing point for people accessing the Boulder Highway corridor on foot — a population that is often economically vulnerable and has no alternative to walking. The data here reflects Henderson’s tale of two cities more sharply than almost any other location in the dataset.
Notable Statistics & Trends
Injuries (101) exceeding crashes (95) signals severe multi-occupant impacts. The pedestrian crash count of 9 over three years — rising every year (1 in 2022, 3 in 2023, 5 in 2024) — is the most alarming trend at this location. An intersection accelerating its pedestrian crash rate this rapidly demands immediate engineering attention. Crashes rose from 22 in 2022 to 36-37 in 2023-2024, a 68% increase showing no sign of reversing. Zero fatalities so far is not a guarantee of continued safety at this trajectory.
