What Can Make Stop Sign Intersections Dangerous?
Stop sign intersections require drivers to determine when it is safe to proceed before entering another roadway. Failing to stop or entering an intersection without yielding can put vehicles traveling through the crossing at risk.
The severity of an intersection crash can depend on vehicle speed, impact direction, and the size of the vehicles involved. A forceful collision can cause vehicles to spin, overturn, or sustain substantial damage.
Drivers should come to a complete stop at posted stop signs and check for approaching traffic before moving forward. Maintaining a clear view of the intersection and avoiding distractions can also help drivers respond to vehicles approaching from other directions.
