INTERSECTION ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS

Exceptional Advocacy to Help Victims of Intersection Crashes Recover & Get Justice

Intersections are vital junctions where streets, vehicles, and road travelers converge.

How to Prevent Intersection Accidents: 10 Safety Tips

Whether you’re driving, riding, or walking through an intersection, here are some simple steps you can take to stay safe and minimize your risk of an intersection accident:
Car crash accident at intersection on street,
Stay focused and alert as you approach and travel through an intersection.
1
Be particularly attentive to any pedestrians, motorcyclists, and/or bicyclists sharing the roads with you at an intersection
2
Always leave enough room between your vehicle and the vehicle you’re following.
3
Use your signals AND check your blind spots before changing lanes or making turns at an intersection.
4
Never speed up as you approach an intersection. Either maintain your speed if you have a green light or safely slow down as you prepare to stop.
5
Always comply with all traffic laws while traveling through intersections.
6
If you’re stopped at an intersection, always wait a few seconds before proceeding through just in case another motorist decides to run a red light or blast through a stop sign.
7
Drive defensively near intersections and be ready for others to break the laws.
8
Go extra slow at intersections whenever there’s construction or bad weather.
9
Be especially careful when driving near 18-wheelers at intersections. Trucks make wider turns and have larger blind spots. Both of those factors can be particularly risky at intersections.
