Intersection Hazards in Mesa’s Residential Areas
Intersections like Mirage and Altavista may not carry the same traffic volume as major highways, but they present unique dangers. With limited lighting, reduced visibility during early morning hours, and residential traffic patterns, crashes in these areas are not uncommon.
Arizona crash data reveals that Mesa continues to record a notable number of intersection-related injury accidents. Contributing factors frequently include distracted driving, failing to yield, and misjudging oncoming traffic.
Motorists are encouraged to exercise extra caution when traveling through neighborhood intersections, especially during off-peak hours when visibility and attentiveness may be reduced.
