How Do Vehicle and Bicycle Crashes Happen at Intersections?
Intersections can be challenging for both drivers and bicyclists. Vehicles may be turning or changing lanes while cyclists travel alongside traffic.
Drivers may not always expect a bicycle in the roadway, especially at night or in busy areas. Limited visibility and timing at traffic signals can increase the risk of impact.
When a bicycle and a vehicle collide, the cyclist often faces greater injury risk due to limited protection. Helmets, proper lighting, and clear signaling can help improve safety for riders sharing the road.
