Dangers of Highway Service Road Collisions in Austin
Highway service roads, such as the IH 35 northbound frontage road, can be particularly hazardous due to merging vehicles, sudden lane changes, and high-speed traffic entering or exiting the highway. These factors contribute to an increased risk of collisions, especially at night when visibility is lower.
The Texas Department of Transportation reports that crashes along highway frontage roads account for a significant portion of urban vehicle collisions each year. Factors like distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield contribute to many of these accidents, leading to injuries and traffic disruptions.
For those involved in a crash, seeking medical attention, documenting the scene, and understanding their legal rights are essential steps in handling the aftermath. Navigating insurance claims and liability concerns can be complex, making professional guidance beneficial.
