Urban Freeway Interchange Hazards in Detroit
Accidents near freeway access points such as the Lodge Fwy and Bagley St often happen quickly due to merging traffic, high speeds, and complex lane changes. These interchanges can be particularly dangerous when visibility is reduced or when vehicles fail to yield properly.
Detroit’s freeway system—especially routes like the John C Lodge—has seen frequent injury accidents due to its dense layout and fluctuating traffic volume. In 2024, Michigan State Police reported hundreds of injury crashes on Detroit-area freeways, with a large number taking place near onramps and exits.
Drivers are urged to stay alert when approaching merge points, to use signals early, and to allow extra space for entering or exiting vehicles. Reducing speed in these areas can significantly lower the risk of collisions.
For crash victims, understanding their rights and seeking timely medical and legal assistance is critical. Even seemingly minor collisions can result in long-term physical and financial challenges if not handled appropriately.
