What Are Common Causes of Crashes at City Intersections?
Intersections can become hazardous when drivers fail to notice vehicles approaching from another direction. Common contributing factors include distraction, excessive speed, poor visibility, and failure to yield.
Drivers should approach intersections at a controlled speed and check for vehicles before entering or turning. Leaving enough space between vehicles also gives drivers more time to react when traffic slows or stops unexpectedly.
Nighttime driving, glare, rain, and obstructed sightlines can make intersections harder to navigate safely. Drivers can reduce risk by staying alert, using signals before turning, and maintaining extra following distance. Avoiding phone use and other distractions can also improve awareness of nearby vehicles and changing traffic conditions.
