What Factors Influence Crash Risk at Neighborhood Intersections?
Mixed-use streets like Marwalt Drive and Donlabrook Boulevard often handle both residential and through traffic. Vehicles may travel at varying speeds, which can increase the chance of a collision at intersections.
Turning movements and limited visibility can also affect driver reaction time. When drivers approach intersections without clear sightlines, it may be harder to anticipate other vehicles entering the roadway.
Traffic flow, speed, and awareness all contribute to safety in these areas. Slowing down and staying alert when approaching intersections can help reduce the likelihood of crashes.
