Motorcyclists need to be acutely aware of these crash hotspots because they are at a higher risk of being in a fatal traffic collision. The latest data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that motorcyclists make up [14% of all traffic fatalities](https://www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/motorcycles).  There are many precautions riders in Houston can take to keep themselves and others safe. Knowing which areas in the city are most dangerous for motorcycles is one of them.  ## Caution: Heavy Traffic Ahead Houston is known to be a busy city with a high volume of traffic. It’s impossible to avoid the most notorious hotspots 100% of the time, but knowing where they are is at least a start.  ### Interstate 10: Katy Freeway A high number of motorcycle and [car accidents](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/houston-tx/car-accident-lawyer/) happen on Katy Freeway. It is one of the most densely traveled freeways in the city, with numerous ramps to contend with. Many accidents happen because drivers merge without looking.  ### Westheimer Road Westheimer Road is the main connection to many of the city’s restaurants and shopping centers. The intersection of Gessner Road and Westheimer Road is one of the busiest in the entire Houston area. This intersection, along with the Westheimer/Voss intersection, is the scene of a high number of [motorcycle accidents](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/houston-tx/motorcycle-accident-lawyer/).  ### Interstate 45: Gulf Freeway Interstate 45 is a major [Houston highway](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/houston-tx/car-accident-lawyer/highway/). It is well known for being one of the most congested roads in the city. An unusual amount of aggressive drivers on the Gulf Freeway can make it a dangerous place for motorcyclists to navigate. Riders should be on the lookout for sudden [lane changes](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/houston-tx/car-accident-lawyer/lane-change/) and lane weaving.  ### Loop 610 Loop 610 is one of the most iconic drives in Houston. The freeway loops around and connects to several major highways along the way. Visitors enjoy taking a drive on Loop 610 thanks to the beautiful views of the city skyline it affords. However, this means the added challenge of out-of-town drivers on an already busy freeway.
