Car Accidents in Utah
Thousands of people in Utah are injured in car crashes every year. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, many of these accidents occur on local roads in residential areas, including streets like East 200 South. While these routes may seem safer due to lower speed limits, they often involve cross traffic, parked cars, and pedestrians—all of which increase accident risk.
Drivers should be aware of key factors that contribute to residential crashes:
- Cross Streets and Intersections: Local intersections are common accident spots, especially when drivers fail to yield or run stop signs.
- Parked Vehicles: Vehicles lining both sides of the street can obscure visibility and make it difficult for drivers to see children or other pedestrians.
- Speeding in Neighborhoods: Even slight speeding can reduce a driver’s ability to stop in time on short residential blocks.
- Distractions Behind the Wheel: Local roads can feel familiar, causing drivers to lower their guard and look at phones, change music, or talk more freely.
- Cyclists and Pedestrians: Urban and residential areas are often filled with bike traffic and foot traffic. Collisions can cause serious harm even at lower speeds.
