Navigating Traffic Safety at Busy Raleigh Intersections

New Bern Avenue is one of Raleigh’s major thoroughfares, and intersections like New Bern Ave and South Swain Street often experience high volumes of traffic throughout the day. These intersections are prone to accidents due to the convergence of multiple lanes of traffic, frequent pedestrian crossings, and varying traffic signal patterns.

According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), intersections are among the most common sites for injury-causing accidents in urban areas. Contributing factors often include distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield. The afternoon hours, such as when this crash occurred, typically see an increase in traffic congestion as people commute home from work or school, which can further elevate the risk of collisions.

To reduce the risk of intersection accidents, drivers should approach intersections with caution, obey posted speed limits, and remain attentive to traffic signals and the actions of other drivers. Avoiding distractions, such as mobile devices, and maintaining a safe following distance can also help prevent accidents. For pedestrians, using designated crosswalks and ensuring they are visible to drivers is critical for safety.

For those involved in intersection collisions, seeking immediate medical attention is essential, even if injuries appear minor. Certain injuries, such as concussions, whiplash, or internal trauma, may not present symptoms immediately but can have long-term health implications if left untreated. Additionally, documenting the accident scene, gathering witness statements, and filing a police report are important steps to support insurance claims and any potential legal proceedings.

Accidents can lead to more than just physical injuries—they can result in emotional distress and financial challenges due to medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and lost income. Understanding your rights and seeking professional assistance can help manage the aftermath of an accident and ensure fair treatment and compensation.
