Please be careful when driving on Murdoch Avenue in Parkersburg. The intersection of Murdoch Avenue and Lakeview Avenue (where Murdoch Avenue morphs into Grand Central Avenue) has several times made the top ten list of most dangerous intersections in West Virginia. I have personally seen a number of accidents at this intersection.

Due to all the retail activity in the immediate vicinity there is almost always a good bit of traffic during the day. Murdoch is seven lanes wide at this point, and Lakeview (which crosses Murdoch at an odd angle) is three lanes wide at this intersection. So you have a lot of potential for a serious accident. Murdoch Avenue in general is probably the most dangerous street in Parkersburg, due to the volume of traffic and the heavy business and retail activity.

Be careful, buckle up and drive safe!
