Roadways like FM 969 Rd, which serve both rural and suburban areas, can be particularly dangerous due to high speeds, limited visibility, and unexpected traffic conditions. Collisions on these roads often result in serious injuries due to the force of impact and the potential for limited access to emergency services.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, rural roads in the state account for a significant number of traffic-related injuries and fatalities each year.
