What Should Drivers Know About Intersection Crashes?
Intersections are common crash locations because vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists may approach from several directions simultaneously. Drivers need to watch for traffic signals, stop signs, turning vehicles, and road users crossing their path. Taking a moment to check the intersection before proceeding can help reduce the risk of a collision.
Speed also affects how much time a driver has to react to unexpected situations. Traveling at a safe speed gives motorists more time to stop or change direction when another vehicle makes an unexpected move. Drivers should be especially cautious when visibility is limited or traffic is heavy.
Distractions can make driving at intersections more dangerous by diverting a driver’s attention from changing traffic conditions. Keeping phones and other distractions out of reach allows drivers to focus on the roadway. Checking mirrors and blind spots before turning or changing lanes can also help prevent conflicts with other vehicles.
