The Risk of Traffic Accidents on Urban Roadways in North Dakota
Urban roads like 12th Avenue North in Fargo experience a high volume of daily traffic, increasing the likelihood of collisions. In many cases, driver inattention, speeding, or failure to yield can contribute to accidents, particularly at intersections and congested areas.

Even accidents at moderate speeds can lead to injuries such as whiplash, fractures, and concussions, requiring medical treatment and extended recovery periods. Along with physical harm, victims often face financial difficulties due to medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repair costs. Navigating insurance claims and legal matters can add further stress to those recovering from an accident.
