What Drivers Should Know About Intersection Accidents
Accidents near entrances and intersections can occur when vehicles are entering, leaving, or crossing areas with changing traffic patterns. Drivers may need to account for vehicles slowing down or turning into nearby properties.
Limited visibility can also affect how quickly drivers see another vehicle or pedestrian. Trees, signs, parked vehicles, and roadway curves can make it harder to spot traffic approaching from another direction.
Drivers should reduce speed when approaching intersections and entrances and remain alert for turning vehicles. Leaving enough space between vehicles can also provide more time to respond when traffic changes unexpectedly.
