Why Busy Coastal Intersections Often See Traffic Collisions
Intersections near coastal and resort areas often experience heavy and mixed traffic, especially during peak travel hours. Drivers may encounter unfamiliar roads, frequent turns, and fluctuating traffic flow.
These conditions can increase the likelihood of misjudged gaps between vehicles or delayed reaction times. Even small timing errors can result in side-impact or turning collisions at intersections.
Local traffic patterns, weather, and seasonal congestion can also contribute to crash risk in busy areas like Ocean City’s main corridors.
