Car Accidents in Utah
With growing traffic volumes in Utah’s urban areas, local roads are increasingly the site of serious crashes. Based on recent reports from the Utah Department of Public Safety, a significant number of crashes take place in residential and commercial zones due to high activity, turning vehicles, and distracted driving. Intersections in particular pose an elevated risk, especially during peak hours.
Knowing how to protect yourself at intersections can make a real difference. Here are some key reminders:
- Always Double-Check Before Entering an Intersection: Even if the light turns green, make sure the intersection is clear before proceeding. Drivers trying to beat a red light or turning across traffic can create dangerous situations. Take a moment to scan for hazards.
- Avoid Blocking Intersections: If traffic is backed up, wait until there’s enough space to fully clear the intersection before moving forward. Blocking an intersection can lead to confusion and secondary accidents.
- Use Your Turn Signals Clearly and Early: Proper signaling alerts other drivers and pedestrians of your intentions. Signaling late or not at all contributes to miscommunication and unexpected maneuvers, which are common causes of intersection crashes.
- Stay Alert for Pedestrians and Cyclists: Intersections are often shared spaces with pedestrians and bikers. Always yield to those with the right of way and be extra cautious when making turns, especially on multi-lane roads.
- Don’t Rely Solely on Traffic Signals: While lights and signs help manage flow, they can’t prevent every mistake. Defensive driving—being prepared for the unexpected—is your best protection.
