What Can Cause Injuries at Road Intersections?
Intersections can present several hazards because vehicles approach from different directions and may travel through the same space. Turning movements, failure to yield, distracted driving, and excessive speed can increase the likelihood of a crash.
Drivers should approach intersections at a safe speed and watch for vehicles entering from side roads. Checking mirrors and blind spots before turning or changing lanes can also help prevent unexpected contact.
Seat belts protect by helping keep occupants properly positioned during sudden stops. Drivers and passengers should use them on every trip. Staying focused on traffic signals and surrounding vehicles can further reduce the risk of serious injuries.
