Frequently Asked Questions
Are intersections a common site for bicycle crashes?
Yes. Intersections are a frequent location for collisions between cyclists and vehicles because of turning movements, limited visibility and conflicting right-of-way.
What injuries do cyclists commonly suffer in these crashes?
Cyclists involved in collisions commonly sustain head injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries, since they have little protection compared to someone inside a vehicle.
What typically causes bicycle crashes at intersections?
Common causes include drivers failing to yield, turning vehicles not seeing a cyclist, and limited visibility at the point where the two paths cross.
Where do most car-bicycle collisions happen?
Most collisions between cars and bicycles occur at or near intersections, rather than on open stretches of road.
