Traffic Collisions in Kootenai County’s Expanding Road Network
As North Idaho communities like Hayden experience continued growth, traffic patterns have shifted from quiet rural routes to busy commuter corridors. Intersections such as Hayden Ave and Meyer Rd are now handling more vehicles each day, and with that increase comes added risk for injury-causing crashes.
Tuesday’s incident is a reminder of how rural-suburban intersections—often lacking traffic lights or protected turns—can present serious hazards. Drivers navigating these roadways must be cautious when crossing, yielding, or turning, especially during morning and evening drive times.
