Intersection Awareness Can Help Prevent Crashes
Intersections can become dangerous when drivers fail to notice other vehicles, misjudge a turn, or enter a crossing at the wrong time. Drivers should slow down near intersections and watch for vehicles approaching from different directions.
Keeping a safe distance and avoiding distractions can give drivers more time to react to unexpected traffic conditions. When a crash blocks a roadway, motorists should slow down and follow posted traffic directions as they pass the scene.
