Why Lane-Blocking Crashes Can Increase Traffic Risks
A collision that blocks a travel lane can quickly slow traffic and create unexpected hazards for approaching drivers. Sudden braking and last-minute lane changes may increase the chance of additional crashes if motorists are not paying close attention.
Drivers should reduce speed when approaching congestion, maintain a safe following distance, and merge only when it is safe to do so. Staying alert to changing traffic conditions can help lower the risk of secondary collisions while the roadway is being cleared.
