Ramp and Highway Accidents in North Carolina
Highway on-ramps and off-ramps are frequent sites of accidents due to merging traffic, high speeds, and sudden braking. The ramp connecting Arrowood Road to Interstate 77 sees significant daily traffic, making it a hotspot for crashes, especially during early morning and late-night hours when visibility is reduced.
Common causes of ramp collisions include driver inattention, failure to yield, and improper lane changes. Additionally, wet or slick road conditions can make navigating ramps more dangerous, increasing the risk of losing control.
Drivers are encouraged to use caution when merging onto highways, maintain safe speeds, and stay alert for sudden stops or lane shifts. Accidents at highway ramps can lead to injuries, extensive vehicle damage, and complex insurance claims, making it important for victims to seek proper assistance.
