What Can Make Interstate Crashes More Dangerous?
High-speed interstate travel can increase collision severity because vehicles cover more distance in less time. Limited visibility can add another challenge, especially when fog, darkness, or poorly lit vehicles reduce a driver’s ability to recognize hazards.
Drivers should reduce speed when visibility drops and leave extra space between vehicles. Keeping headlights and other required lights working can help make a vehicle easier to see. Staying alert also gives drivers more time to react when traffic suddenly slows, or another vehicle enters a travel lane.
Large trucks can create additional risks because of their size and stopping distance. Drivers should avoid sudden lane changes around trucks and remain aware of blind spots. Checking traffic conditions before traveling can also help motorists prepare for reduced visibility or roadway hazards.
