Bicycle Safety and Collision Risks in Chandler
Cycling in urban areas like Chandler can pose significant risks, particularly at intersections such as Ray Rd and McClintock Dr. Despite designated bike lanes and signage, collisions between vehicles and cyclists remain a serious concern.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, bicycle-related crashes often occur due to driver inattention, failure to yield, or improper turning maneuvers. Bicyclists are especially vulnerable to injury because they lack the protection of a vehicle.
Motorists should always scan for cyclists, give them adequate space, and slow down when approaching intersections. Bicyclists, in turn, should wear visible gear, use hand signals, and remain alert even when riding in designated lanes.
Following a collision, injured cyclists are encouraged to seek immediate medical care and retain all documentation from the scene. Photographic evidence, witness accounts, and police reports can help support future claims or legal action.
