Rural Intersection Crashes on Maryland’s Eastern Shore
Rural intersections like Deal Island Rd and Messick Rd can be deceptively dangerous due to long sight lines, inconsistent signage, and limited illumination, especially in the evening or early morning. Drivers unfamiliar with the area may overlook stop signs or misjudge the speed of oncoming vehicles, leading to serious collisions.
