Neighborhood Intersection Crashes in New Jersey
Accidents at local intersections like Ludington and Paulison Avenues are a recurring issue in residential and mixed-use areas across New Jersey. These types of collisions often involve vehicles entering intersections from secondary roads, making split-second decisions that can lead to impact—especially when visibility is limited or speed is a factor.
Clifton’s neighborhood streets, including the Paulison corridor, carry a mix of commuter and local traffic, with frequent turns and cross-traffic adding to collision risk. While these roads may seem less hazardous than highways, they account for a significant portion of injury-related accidents due to their close proximity to schools, homes, and businesses.
Injury victims from neighborhood crashes may face a number of short- and long-term challenges: physical recovery, transportation issues, and difficulties dealing with insurance companies. It’s important to recognize that even seemingly “minor” accidents at local intersections can result in serious medical consequences—and require equally serious attention.
