How Does Intersection Awareness Help Prevent Traffic Crashes?
Intersections bring together vehicles traveling in different directions, making them places where drivers need to pay close attention to their surroundings. A driver may need to watch for vehicles approaching from multiple directions while also accounting for pedestrians, cyclists, and turning traffic. Reducing speed when approaching an intersection can provide additional time to identify potential hazards.
Make sure to check carefully before proceeding through an intersection, even when traffic appears light. Looking for vehicles that may be approaching quickly or failing to yield can help motorists recognize developing dangers. Maintaining a safe speed also gives drivers more time to brake if another vehicle enters their path unexpectedly.
Distractions can make intersection hazards harder to recognize. Youshould keep their attention on the roadway, avoid handheld cellphone use, and remain prepared for sudden changes in traffic. Allowing enough space between vehicles can also help prevent rear-end crashes when traffic stops or slows near an intersection.
