Staying Safe on US-395
US-395 serves as a vital corridor in Reno, carrying heavy traffic volumes daily. Areas near intersections and exits like Parr Blvd are particularly vulnerable to collisions due to the combination of high vehicle density, driver inattention, and challenging early morning driving conditions.
The Nevada Department of Transportation identifies several key factors contributing to accidents on highways like US-395:
- Speeding: Excessive speeds reduce a driver’s ability to react to sudden changes in traffic.
- Distracted Driving: Activities such as texting or using in-car systems divert attention from the road.
- Tailgating: Insufficient following distances often lead to rear-end collisions in congested areas.
To reduce your risk on high-traffic routes:
- Maintain a Safe Speed: Always observe posted limits and adjust for weather or traffic conditions.
- Stay Focused: Avoid distractions and keep your attention fully on the road.
- Leave Space: Allow enough distance between your vehicle and others to react to unexpected stops.
If you’re involved in an accident, take these immediate steps:
- Move to a safe area and call emergency services.
- Document the scene with photos and gather contact information from witnesses.
- Seek medical attention promptly, even if injuries appear minor.
