Afternoon Traffic and Increased Accident Risks
Afternoon hours, particularly between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., are among the most dangerous times for drivers, with crash rates often spiking during this part of the day. Accidents like the one at W 41st St and S Lincoln Ave frequently occur during these hours due to a combination of factors, including heavy traffic, fatigue from the day’s activities, and increased urgency as people head home from work, school, or errands.
According to national traffic data, late afternoon is second only to evening hours in terms of collision frequency. During this time, distractions such as checking phones, adjusting navigation systems, or dealing with in-vehicle conversations can also contribute to crashes.
Drivers are encouraged to stay alert, maintain safe following distances, and avoid multitasking behind the wheel, particularly during the busy afternoon commute. Small adjustments in driving behavior can significantly reduce accident risks during peak periods.
