How Pedestrian Crashes on Highway Intersections Are Typically Investigated
Pedestrian crashes near highway interchanges often involve multiple factors, including traffic speed, lighting, and crossing points. Intersections connecting local roads to interstate ramps can be especially complex for both drivers and pedestrians.
