What Should Drivers Know About Intersection Safety?
Intersections can become difficult to navigate when vehicles are approaching from several directions or when drivers are preparing to turn. Motorists should slow down as they approach an intersection and check carefully for other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Following traffic signs and signals can help reduce the chance of a collision.
Drivers should avoid distractions and keep their attention on changing traffic conditions. Leaving enough space between vehicles provides additional time to brake if traffic suddenly stops. Extra caution is also advisable on roads with limited visibility or unexpected curves near intersections.
When emergency crews are responding to a crash, motorists should slow down and watch for stopped vehicles and personnel working near the roadway. Drivers should follow temporary traffic controls and avoid making sudden maneuvers around an active scene. Giving responders sufficient room helps them safely assist people involved in the collision.
