How Can Drivers Reduce the Risk of Crashes at Intersections?
Intersections can become difficult to navigate when vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists approach from several directions at the same time. Drivers should reduce their speed as they approach a crossing and pay close attention to traffic signals, signs, and lane markings. A careful scan of the roadway can help identify vehicles that may be entering the intersection unexpectedly.
Drivers should also allow enough space to stop safely if traffic ahead slows or stops. Checking mirrors and blind spots before turning or changing lanes can help reveal road users who may be difficult to see. Keeping phones and other distractions away while driving allows motorists to devote more attention to changing traffic conditions.
Turning movements require additional care because a driver’s view can change while completing the maneuver. Motorists should signal early, check for pedestrians and cyclists, and make sure the intended path is clear before proceeding. Maintaining a controlled speed can provide more time to react if another road user does not follow the expected movement.
