High-Risk Intersections in South Oklahoma City
The intersection of SW 43rd St and S Walker Ave lies within a residential and commuter-heavy corridor of south Oklahoma City. Intersections in this area frequently see injury crashes due to mixed traffic, turning maneuvers, and inconsistent nighttime visibility.
Data from the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office indicates that crashes during late evening hours are often linked to driver fatigue, distraction, or reduced attention to signage and signals. Injury accidents at neighborhood intersections also commonly involve drivers failing to yield or misjudging oncoming traffic.
Drivers are advised to exercise increased caution in residential corridors and reduce speeds while navigating intersections, particularly during nighttime hours when visibility and reaction times are compromised.
