- Sudden merging and lane shifts
- Slower-moving trucks entering or exiting the weigh station

- Speed differentials between merging vehicles and highway traffic
Even minor crashes in these areas can lead to serious injuries, requiring medical treatment and extended recovery times. Victims of accidents caused by driver negligence may have legal options to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
