Of the 24 intersections on the list for 2010, 13 didn’t make last year’s list. Santa Rosa Police Officer Jeff Adams, who oversees the Police Department’s program that focuses on problem intersections, said a difference of two or three collisions can be a factor whether an intersection is ranked as one of the most dangerous.

The rankings are based on the number of collisions where officers took reports. They don’t include collisions handled by drivers and reported to their insurance companies.
