What Should Drivers Know About Fatal Crashes at Major Intersections?
Major intersections can bring together vehicles traveling at different speeds and from several directions, creating multiple potential conflict points. Drivers should approach these areas at a controlled speed and remain attentive to traffic signals, turning vehicles, and vehicles entering from side streets. Avoiding distractions is especially important when traffic patterns are changing quickly.
Visibility can also affect how well drivers recognize hazards at an intersection. Darkness, glare from headlights, rain, or objects near the roadway can make another vehicle harder to see. Drivers should keep their windshield clear, use headlights appropriately, and avoid assuming that another motorist has noticed them.
Following traffic controls and allowing enough time to make a turn or cross an intersection can reduce the chance of a serious collision. Drivers should avoid rushing through yellow or changing traffic signals and should check carefully for approaching vehicles before turning. Maintaining a safe following distance can also give motorists more time to react when traffic ahead suddenly stops.
