Staying Safe at Intersections
Intersections like Broadbent Blvd and E Russell Rd are high-risk areas for crashes, particularly in busy cities like Las Vegas. Nearly half of all injury-related accidents occur at intersections. Common causes include:
- Distracted Driving: Diverting attention away from the road.
- Failure to Yield: Not giving the right of way.
- Speeding: Reducing the ability to react quickly to changing traffic conditions.
Nighttime driving adds challenges such as reduced visibility and driver fatigue, further increasing the risk of accidents at intersections. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) advises drivers to stay alert, follow traffic signals, and reduce speeds, especially in low-light conditions.
