Evening Traffic and Intersection Risks in Glendale
Bethany Home Rd and 43rd Ave is a heavily traveled intersection in Glendale that connects both residential and commercial districts. Crashes in this area are not uncommon—especially during late-night hours when decreased visibility and driver fatigue may play a role.
According to data from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Maricopa County continues to lead the state in intersection-related crashes, with late-night accidents showing a higher rate of injury per incident. Many such collisions stem from speeding, distracted driving, or failure to yield the right of way.
Motorists traveling through Glendale during evening hours should remain cautious. Approaching intersections at safe speeds, obeying traffic signals, and staying alert can greatly reduce the risk of being involved in a crash.
For anyone injured in a nighttime accident, it is important to seek medical evaluation—even for seemingly minor symptoms—and gather any available evidence from the scene. Documentation may prove essential for insurance claims or legal follow-up.
