Traffic Safety on Lyell Ave and Nighttime Driving Risks
Lyell Ave is a major route in Rochester, and crashes like this one highlight the risks associated with nighttime driving. Reduced visibility, driver fatigue, and other factors can contribute to accidents during late-night hours. Areas near busy intersections, such as E5, are often more prone to crashes as drivers navigate through congested traffic or make late-night turns.
Drivers are reminded to stay alert when driving at night, particularly in busy areas, and to adjust their speed to the conditions of the road. Keeping a safe distance from other vehicles and minimizing distractions are essential habits to prevent accidents and keep roads safe.
