Arizona Intersection Dangers

The Dangers of  Intersections in Arizona

Intersections in Arizona have a lot of traffic happening. Vehicles move straight through, others are making right turns, and others are crossing the intersection to make a left turn. Throw in pedestrians attempting to cross the street, and bicyclists and motorcycles, the chances of an accident at an intersection is high.

In addition, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that practically every accident at an intersection is because of human error of some sort.  These Arizona intersection dangers can lead to many accidents and injuries.

These common causes of accidents on intersections include:

• Assuming where another vehicle is going to go
• Turning at the intersection without a clear view
• Making illegal driving actions, like a U-turn
• Driving while distracted
• Failing to look for other vehicles around you
• Making an incorrect judgment of the amount of space between vehicles
• Misjudging how fast another vehicle is driving

Additionally, intersection accidents are one of the most common accidents on Mesa’s roadways.  Intersection dangers being common, The National Coalition for Safer Roads reports that red-light accidents are some of the deadliest. When one driver runs through a red light at an intersection, fatal accidents can occur. Head-on collisions with vehicles traveling in the opposite direction as well as T-bone collisions are the direct result of drivers going in all directions at an intersection. Arizona intersections was a state identified as having the most red light accidents.
