Motorcycle Accidents in Urban Intersections
Crashes involving motorcycles and passenger vehicles are a serious concern at urban intersections like Mound St and East River Dr in Davenport. These locations often present visibility challenges and complex right-of-way dynamics that increase the risk of collisions.
The Iowa Department of Transportation reports that motorcyclists are significantly more likely to be injured in crashes due to the lack of protective barriers. Even low-speed impacts can result in severe trauma. Common causes of motorcycle collisions include left-turn conflicts, failure to yield, and inattentive driving.
Motorists are urged to double-check for motorcycles before turning or changing lanes. Likewise, riders should wear visible gear, maintain safe speeds, and anticipate driver behavior at intersections.
