A note on intersection data Of the 172,127 crash records in this dataset, 11,104 (6.5%) lack a complete intersection name in the TxDOT CRIS source records. These crashes are included in all statistical totals, charts, and the street-level heatmap, but are excluded from the ranked intersection list (Top 10) and named map markers, as they cannot be reliably placed at a specific intersection.
