What to Know About Crashes at Highway Intersections
Intersections where major highways meet can bring vehicles traveling from different directions into the same area. Turning vehicles, through traffic, and changing signals can create potential points of conflict.
Drivers should approach highway intersections at a safe speed and watch for vehicles entering from other lanes. Leaving enough space from nearby vehicles can also provide additional time to react when traffic changes.
Crashes involving trucks may result in greater damage because of differences in vehicle size and weight. Motorists should remain attentive when sharing the roadway with larger vehicles and avoid sudden movements near intersections.
