Nighttime Collisions in Texas
Roadways near airports, such as Airport Rd and Butterfield Trail Blvd, often see a unique mix of traffic, including commercial shuttles, taxis, and personal vehicles, which can increase the risk of collisions. Late-night and early-morning hours bring additional hazards due to reduced visibility, driver fatigue, and lower traffic enforcement presence. In Texas, nighttime crashes make up a notable portion of the state’s serious injury accidents, with many linked to impaired driving or insufficient lighting. Motorists traveling during off-peak hours are encouraged to remain alert, use headlights appropriately, and approach intersections with caution. Maintaining slower speeds in low-visibility conditions can significantly reduce the chance of severe accidents.
