Drivers mostly hit other things when there's too many things demanding their attention (poor visibility + difficult left turn + busy traffic + bikes + pedestrians = high risk of accidents) so this is probably just a heat map of intersections that are the busiest (in terms of things going on, not necessarily throughput).

I'd like to see a month by month heat map.

And this is exactly why humans shouldn't be driving. Hopefully human driving will be banned before too long, as machines can do it so much better.
