Explanation
Crashes happen more often at intersections than anywhere else on the road. In fact, more than one-third of all traffic collisions in the United States - especially those causing injury or death - occur at or near intersections. This makes intersections one of the most dangerous places to drive.
Drivers must use extra caution when approaching any intersection, even if they have the right-of-way. Always slow down, scan for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists, and be prepared to stop. Never assume that other drivers will yield. Being alert and driving carefully at intersections can prevent serious crashes.
