What Can Make Intersection Accidents Dangerous?
Intersections require drivers to monitor traffic approaching from several directions. Turning vehicles, traffic signals, and limited visibility can make it harder to recognize a developing hazard.
Drivers should approach intersections at a controlled speed and check for vehicles before proceeding. Leaving enough space between vehicles can also give you more time to react if traffic suddenly stops.
Seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury during a collision. Drivers and passengers should use them on every trip, including short journeys.
Staying alert and following traffic signals can help reduce the risk of crashes at busy intersections.
