Traffic Risks at Major Intersections in Mesa
Mesa’s roadways see a high volume of daily traffic, with intersections like E Southern Ave and S Sossaman Rd being particularly busy due to their proximity to residential areas, businesses, and major thoroughfares. These intersections pose an increased risk of collisions, especially during peak hours when congestion is at its highest.
Many accidents at busy intersections occur due to driver negligence, including distracted driving, running red lights, or failing to yield the right of way.
