How Construction Areas Can Affect Crash Risk at Intersections
Roadwork zones often change normal traffic patterns by narrowing lanes or shifting travel paths. Drivers may need to adjust quickly to barrels, cones, or temporary markings, which can increase the chance of a collision.
Intersections near construction areas can be especially challenging because vehicles are already slowing, turning, or stopping. Limited space and visual distractions may reduce reaction time.
Even minor crashes in these locations can lead to delays while crews make sure the roadway is safe. Removing damaged vehicles and checking the work zone helps restore normal traffic flow.
