Intersection Crash Risks in Syracuse’s Near Northeast
The intersection of Lodi St and E Laurel St lies in a densely populated section of Syracuse where residential and commercial traffic frequently mix. Collisions in this area are often caused by failure to yield, speeding, or poor visibility during evening hours.
