Nighttime driving poses increased risks due to limited visibility, fatigue, and a higher incidence of impaired driving. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, crashes that occur during late-night hours often result in more serious injuries compared to daytime incidents.
Intersections like N Central Ave and W Union Hills Dr can be particularly hazardous at night if drivers fail to observe traffic signals or misjudge the speed of oncoming vehicles. In such conditions, maintaining safe speeds, using headlights appropriately, and avoiding distractions are critical for preventing crashes.
