Why Can Freeway Interchanges Create Sudden Traffic Conflicts?
Major freeway interchanges combine through traffic with vehicles entering, exiting, and changing lanes over relatively short distances. Drivers may need to monitor several traffic movements simultaneously while maintaining highway speeds.
Speed differences can become more noticeable near connector ramps. Some motorists may slow to prepare for an exit while others continue straight, creating changing gaps that require quick decisions from surrounding drivers.
Even when vehicles reach the shoulder after making contact with the roadway, traffic can briefly slow as drivers pass the disabled cars and emergency activity. Lane changes, limited shoulder space, ramp geometry, and traffic volume can all influence how quickly normal movement returns.
