Highway Safety Concerns on Pennsylvania Interstates
Accidents on high-speed routes like I-83 can be especially dangerous due to the forces involved and the potential for multi-vehicle collisions. Interchange areas, such as the Fishing Creek and Park Rd exits, often see merging traffic and lane changes, which can increase crash risks when drivers fail to adjust speeds or maintain adequate following distances.
According to Pennsylvania Department of Transportation statistics, interstate crashes are more likely to involve higher injury severity compared to other roadway types. Contributing factors often include distracted driving, speeding, sudden braking, and weather-related conditions that affect traction and visibility.
Preventing such incidents requires both infrastructure measures and safe driving practices. Clear signage, well-maintained pavement markings, and adequate ramp lengths help guide motorists safely, while driver habits such as staying alert, signaling early, and reducing speed near exit ramps are key to lowering collision risks.
