The Challenges of Clearing Crashes From Busy Urban Roads
A crash on a heavily traveled city street can create immediate congestion when damaged vehicles, emergency units, or debris block part of the roadway.
Evening traffic can add to the disruption because more drivers may be moving through the area at the same time. Limited space for emergency vehicles can also slow the response and make lane closures necessary.
Traffic volume, road width, vehicle position, and the number of emergency units at the scene can all affect how quickly congestion develops. When a crash occurs on a major urban corridor, delays may spread to nearby intersections within a short time.
