Why May Crashes Near Resort Areas Be Related to Unfamiliar Drivers?
Roads near ski resorts, mountain communities, and other seasonal destinations see a mix of residents and visitors unfamiliar with the specific curves, intersections, and traffic patterns of the area. A driver navigating an unfamiliar road may react differently to a turn or intersection than someone who travels it regularly.
Seasonal traffic patterns can compound this unfamiliarity, since visitor volume can spike sharply around resort areas during certain times of year, changing how busy a road typically is. A driver accustomed to lighter traffic may not anticipate the increased volume during a busier period.
Investigators typically look at each driver’s speed, familiarity with the area, and right-of-way when reviewing a crash near a location like this one. This kind of review helps establish whether unfamiliarity with the road played any role in how the crash developed.
