Ramp Crashes and Highway Safety in Raleigh
Ramp areas like the connection from Capital Blvd to I-440 are among the more frequent locations for injury collisions in Raleigh, due to merging traffic, tight turns, and fluctuating speeds. These features often challenge even seasoned drivers, especially during busy afternoon hours.
In crashes occurring on ramps, drivers may face sudden slowdowns or encounter vehicles entering at higher speeds, contributing to rear-end or side-impact collisions. Injured parties are encouraged to seek medical attention immediately, obtain accident documentation, and explore legal avenues if another party’s negligence played a role.
According to North Carolina Department of Transportation statistics, highway ramps and interchanges are consistently listed among high-risk areas for traffic incidents. Enhanced signage, reduced speed zones, and driver awareness all play a part in preventing these types of crashes.
