What Factors Can Influence Crashes on High-Speed Interstates?
Interstates like I-90 near Mullan carry fast-moving traffic, especially during overnight hours. High speeds can reduce the time drivers have to react to unexpected situations on the roadway.
Visibility is another key factor in early morning conditions. Limited lighting and reduced traffic awareness may affect how quickly hazards are noticed.
Road design and surroundings can also play a role. Long stretches of highway with few interruptions may lead to higher speeds, increasing the severity of crashes when they occur.
