What Should Drivers Know About Intersection Accidents?
Intersection accidents can occur when drivers turn, cross lanes, or proceed through traffic signals at the same time. Visibility, vehicle speed, road markings, and driver attention can all affect safety at these locations.
Turning vehicles can create particular risks because drivers must monitor traffic approaching from several directions. Pedestrians and cyclists may also be present near crosswalks or along the edges of an intersection.
Keeping a safe speed and checking carefully before entering or turning through an intersection can reduce the chance of a collision. Drivers should also follow traffic signals and yield when required. After an accident, information such as roadway design, vehicle positions, traffic controls, and witness accounts can help establish the sequence of events.
