Traffic Safety in Hanover Borough
Intersections like W Park Ave and High St in Hanover Borough, especially during the afternoon hours, often see high traffic volumes, which can increase the likelihood of accidents. Poor visibility, distracted driving, and failure to yield are common contributors to crashes at busy intersections.
In Hanover, as in many other small boroughs, drivers should exercise extra caution at intersections, obey posted traffic signals, and be prepared to stop for pedestrians or turning vehicles. Intersections without advanced traffic control systems, such as stop lights or dedicated turn lanes, can present additional challenges.
