Driving Safely at Night in Urban Areas
Navigating urban intersections like Tucson Blvd and 6th St during nighttime hours poses unique challenges. Drivers can follow these tips to reduce the risk of accidents:
- Use Proper Lighting: Ensure your headlights are clean and functional. Use high beams on dark roads but switch to low beams when approaching oncoming traffic.
- Reduce Speed: Drive at a slower speed during nighttime hours to allow more time to react to unexpected obstacles.
- Stay Alert: Fatigue and reduced visibility make driving at night riskier. Take breaks if you feel drowsy.
- Watch for Pedestrians and Cyclists: Urban areas often have pedestrians and cyclists who may be less visible in low-light conditions.
