Managing Crash Risks at Highway Interchanges
Highway interchanges, such as the junction of Route 30 and Rohrerstown Rd, often experience elevated collision risks due to merging traffic, changing speeds, and lane-switching maneuvers. In East Hempfield Township, this interchange serves as a major connector for both local and regional traffic, making it a frequent location for congestion and sudden slowdowns.
Pennsylvania crash data indicates that interchanges are a common site for injury collisions, particularly during peak travel hours. Contributing factors may include driver inattention, speeding, and misjudging the distance or speed of merging vehicles.
Preventive measures can include improved signage, clearer lane markings, and adequate ramp lengths to facilitate safer merging. Drivers can reduce risk by signaling early, checking mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes, and maintaining a safe following distance when approaching or leaving interchanges.
