How Vehicle and Bicycle Crashes Often Occur on Busy Roadways
Crashes between vehicles and bicycles often happen during early morning hours when traffic begins to increase. Lower light levels and heavier commuter flow can make it harder for drivers and cyclists to see each other clearly.
Intersections and roadway stretches near major routes can present added risks. Drivers may be focused on merging or turning, while cyclists may be traveling along the shoulder or near traffic lanes. Even at moderate speeds, a collision can lead to injuries due to the limited protection available to riders.
Wearing visible clothing, using lights, and staying alert can help reduce the risk of these types of accidents.
