Highway Collisions in Baton Rouge Often Linked to Congested Intersections
Airline Hwy is one of Baton Rouge’s busiest routes, serving both local and through traffic across the city. The stretch near Commonwealth Blvd and Interline Ave is particularly prone to congestion due to merging lanes and nearby commercial traffic. These conditions often increase the likelihood of rear-end collisions, lane-change accidents, or intersection crashes.
Injury crashes at major highway intersections are often attributed to a combination of high vehicle density, limited reaction time, and distracted driving. Even during daytime hours, visibility can be reduced by commercial signage or large vehicles obstructing views at stoplights.
Law enforcement continues to urge drivers to remain alert and avoid distractions, especially in high-traffic corridors like Airline Hwy. Preventing intersection crashes often comes down to defensive driving habits, respecting traffic signals, and yielding the right of way where appropriate.
