Injury Crash Risks in Residential Intersections in Saginaw
Intersections like Malzahn St and Ottawa St—located in a residential zone with moderate traffic flow—are frequent sites of injury collisions. These crashes often result from failure to yield, rolling stops, or limited visibility at cross streets.
Data from the Saginaw area shows a steady pattern of intersection-related crashes in neighborhood corridors, especially during afternoon hours and weekends. Even low-speed impacts can cause injuries when occupants are unrestrained or caught off guard by sudden movement.
Drivers are urged to slow down near residential intersections, obey all stop signs, and remain alert to both cross traffic and pedestrians.
