Why Intersections Can Be Risky for Drivers and E-Bike Riders
Intersections are among the most common places for traffic collisions because they bring together vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and turning traffic in a shared space. Drivers and e-bike riders must watch for changing traffic signals, vehicles making left or right turns, and people crossing the street.
E-bike riders can improve their safety by remaining visible, following traffic laws, and avoiding blind spots around larger vehicles. Wearing a properly fitted helmet and using lights or reflective gear can also increase visibility, especially during busy travel periods. Drivers can help prevent collisions by checking carefully for cyclists before turning or changing lanes and by allowing enough space when passing. Safe habits from everyone using the roadway can reduce the risk of serious injuries at busy intersections.
