Why Are Bicycle Crashes More Dangerous at Intersections?
Intersections can create added risks for cyclists because vehicles may approach from multiple directions and turn across bicycle travel paths. A driver may also have difficulty noticing a bicycle when traffic, parked vehicles, or other objects block part of the view. Cyclists and motorists should approach intersections slowly enough to recognize changing conditions.
Visibility is especially important when bicycles share roads with motor vehicles. Front and rear lights, reflective materials, and bright clothing can make cyclists easier to notice, particularly during evening hours. Drivers should check mirrors and blind spots carefully and avoid assuming that a bicycle is not present simply because it is difficult to see.
Road users should also make their movements predictable. Cyclists should follow applicable traffic signals and remain aware of vehicles approaching from behind or preparing to turn. Drivers should signal turns, maintain a safe speed, and leave sufficient space when traveling near a bicycle.
