Lancaster City’s busy streets and intersections, like E King St and N Broad St, pose risks for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Congested roadways, frequent traffic signals, and high pedestrian activity contribute to an increased likelihood of collisions. Accidents in these areas can be caused by a variety of factors, including distracted driving, speeding, or failure to yield at intersections.
