High-traffic intersections, especially during peak travel times, can be particularly dangerous. Drivers navigating these roads often deal with congested traffic, complex intersections, and a variety of unpredictable road conditions. In such environments, collisions can occur quickly due to factors like speeding, distracted driving, and sudden lane changes.
To reduce the risk of accidents, it’s crucial that drivers adopt defensive driving habits. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, especially in high-traffic zones, can help prevent rear-end collisions, which are common in areas like Bluffton Road. Additionally, staying alert to changes in traffic conditions and adjusting speeds for weather, visibility, and road surface conditions can prevent many types of accidents. Avoiding distractions, such as using a phone or engaging in other activities while driving, remains one of the most important ways to stay safe on the road.
