Texas Traffic Collision Frequency
Austin, particularly busy roadways like Burnet Rd, sees a high frequency of vehicle collisions due to the city’s growing population and heavy commuter traffic. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, urban crashes often result from common factors such as distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield the right of way.
