Why E-Bike Crashes at Busy Intersections Are Common
Busy intersections can present risks for e-bike riders due to the mix of vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic.
Limited visibility, right-of-way confusion, and traffic congestion can all contribute to collisions.
Investigators often review traffic patterns, signals, and driver and rider actions to determine how these incidents occur.
