Busy West Columbus Intersections Present Persistent Safety Concerns
The intersection of Sullivant Ave and Salisbury Rd lies in a densely populated section of Greater Hilltop—a west Columbus neighborhood with a mix of residential and commercial traffic. These intersections are prone to frequent collisions due to a combination of heavy vehicle flow, multiple turning lanes, and limited visibility during peak hours.
Injury crashes in such areas often involve side-impact collisions or rear-end crashes caused by sudden stops or improper turning maneuvers. Even in areas with traffic signals, driver inattention or excessive speed can lead to serious outcomes.
Columbus drivers are reminded to approach intersections with care, especially in areas with frequent foot traffic or lane changes. Reducing speed, obeying traffic controls, and staying alert can significantly reduce the risk of similar accidents.
