Local Crash Corridors in Wentzville
Interstate 70 through Wentzville is a primary freight route connecting Kansas City and St. Louis, and the General Motors Wentzville Assembly Plant generates sustained heavy-vehicle traffic on Wentzville Parkway and the I-70 interchange at Highway Z throughout each shift cycle. High-speed rear-end and lane-departure collisions between the Wentzville Parkway and Highway T interchanges are among the most severe crash patterns in St. Charles County, with commercial truck involvement in a disproportionate share of fatalities. Highway 61 (Daniel Boone Parkway) running south from I-70 through Wentzville's residential and commercial expansion zone carries commuter traffic at rates that have outpaced signal infrastructure, and left-turn failures at uncontrolled mid-block intersections are a documented cause of serious angle collisions. The rapid pace of residential construction in outlying Wentzville subdivisions has introduced large volumes of inexperienced local-road users onto collector streets feeding directly into the I-70 corridor.
