What Should Drivers Know About Bicycle Crashes at Intersections?
Bicycle crashes at intersections can happen when vehicles and bicycles move through the same space. Drivers should check carefully for cyclists before turning, changing lanes, or entering an intersection, while cyclists should follow traffic signals and remain alert to nearby vehicles.
Visibility can affect how easily drivers and cyclists see one another, particularly during busy traffic periods or in areas with limited sight lines. Leaving adequate space when passing a bicycle and reducing speed near intersections can help lower the risk of a crash. Road markings, traffic signals, and bicycle travel patterns may also affect how vehicles and cyclists move through an intersection.
