Intersection Accidents in Lexington
Intersections like Clays Mill Rd and Mitchell Ave can be prone to collisions due to the mix of residential and commuter traffic, turning movements, and varying speed limits. In neighborhoods with both local and through traffic, visibility challenges and driver inattention can significantly increase the risk of accidents.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet reports that intersection-related crashes account for a substantial share of injury accidents in Fayette County. Common contributing factors include distracted driving, failure to yield, and speeding. Morning traffic can further elevate risks as commuters navigate busy routes under time pressure.
