Why These Intersections See More Crashes
Intersections with frequent injury crashes typically share similar characteristics. For example, they might have:
- Multiple lanes, roads that meet at unusual angles, or other complex layouts
- Poor visibility due to buildings, parked vehicles, or San Francisco fog
- Limited or poorly maintained infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists
- Traffic lights that aren’t timed well
Several of these factors can be present in the same location.
