Why Boundary Intersections See Higher Accident Rates
Accidents at intersections located along city and township borders — such as Eshelman Mill Rd and the Lancaster City Line — are more common than many realize. Drivers crossing from a suburban setting into a more urbanized roadway often face sudden changes in speed limits, traffic flow, and visibility. These abrupt transitions can make it difficult to anticipate merging vehicles or pedestrians.
In addition, jurisdictional overlap may delay roadway improvements or complicate traffic enforcement, leaving drivers more reliant on their own caution. For this reason, transportation officials urge motorists to slow down and approach boundary intersections with extra vigilance.
