Residential streets such as N Kerby Ave may see lower traffic volumes than major highways, but crashes in these areas can still cause significant injuries and disruptions. Nighttime driving presents added risks due to limited visibility and the possibility of encountering impaired or fatigued drivers.
Common causes of neighborhood collisions include speeding, failure to yield, and distractions both inside and outside the vehicle. Local safety officials recommend that drivers slow down on residential roads, remain attentive to intersections and crosswalks, and anticipate the presence of pedestrians or cyclists.
