Navigating Rural Intersections in Pennsylvania
Intersections like Pilottown Rd and Rigby Rd in Fulton Township are characteristic of rural Pennsylvania, where roadways often feature limited visibility and fewer traffic control measures. These factors can contribute to an increased risk of collisions, especially when drivers are unfamiliar with the area or when road conditions are less than ideal.
