Neighborhood Crashes Remain a Persistent Risk in Detroit
While major intersections and highways often get more attention, accidents on residential streets like Cadillac Ave can be just as dangerous. Narrow roadways, poor lighting, and limited visibility at night all contribute to the potential for serious collisions in neighborhood areas, especially when drivers are unfamiliar with the area or fail to obey traffic laws.
Saturday’s crash between Barker and Chapin streets is a reminder that even seemingly quiet streets are not exempt from traffic risks. Drivers should reduce speed in residential areas, use headlights properly, and remain vigilant for pedestrians or vehicles entering the roadway unexpectedly.
