Risks at Phoenix Suburban Intersections
N 32nd St and E Bell Rd is a busy intersection serving one of Phoenix’s heavily traveled northern corridors. With steady traffic from both residential neighborhoods and commercial centers, this area sees frequent collisions, especially during late afternoon hours.
In 2024, Phoenix recorded thousands of crashes at signal-controlled intersections, many involving driver distraction or failure to yield. Bell Rd, in particular, is known for heavy traffic flow and left-turn conflicts, which often contribute to side-impact and rear-end accidents.
To prevent these types of incidents, drivers are encouraged to remain focused, avoid distractions like mobile devices, and anticipate the actions of others on the road. Even a brief lapse in attention at intersections can lead to serious consequences.
