Safety at Urban Intersections
Crashes at city intersections like Vine and West McMillan often result from common risk factors such as driver inattention, hurried turns, and signal violations. In areas with high vehicle and pedestrian volumes, especially near universities or business districts, even minor errors can lead to serious outcomes.
Accidents during early morning hours are also influenced by fatigue or low-light conditions, which further increase the danger. Authorities urge drivers to remain alert and reduce speed when approaching intersections — particularly during rush hours or periods of low visibility.
