Preventing Intersection-Related Crashes in Urban Areas
Traffic accidents near busy intersections,
like the one reported in Trenton, are common across New Jersey’s cities. High volumes of vehicles, turning movements, and frequent stops can create conditions that increase the likelihood of sudden collisions. Understanding how these incidents happen can help drivers take steps to protect themselves and others.
One recurring factor in intersection-related crashes is driver inattention. Even brief distractions, such as adjusting a radio, checking a device, or interacting with passengers, can result in a failure to notice stopped or turning vehicles. Improper left turns are another major contributor; when drivers misjudge gaps or rush through yellow lights, they increase the risk of side-impact collisions. Following too closely also plays a significant role, as rear-end crashes often happen in areas where traffic slows unexpectedly.
Weather and lighting conditions can also influence crash risk. Rain, fog, or dimly lit streets can make it harder for drivers to see approaching vehicles, pedestrians, or traffic signals. By reducing speed, maintaining safe distances, and staying fully focused at intersections, many of these accidents can be avoided.
Traffic collisions can lead to serious injuries, financial burdens, and long recovery periods.
