Traffic Dangers at Major Intersections in Garner
Busy intersections like White Oak Rd and US 70 Hwy E are known for frequent traffic flow, making them common locations for vehicle accidents. High-speed travel on highways combined with stop-and-go conditions at nearby intersections can increase the risk of crashes.
