Intersections Blogs
Over the past few years an average of one-fourth of all traffic fatalities and approximately half of traffic injuries happened at intersections, according to the Federal Highway Administration. Also, Intersections can become excessively congested during peak driving hours. This creates inefficiency that results in delays that cause frustration and increased safety risks.
Intersections are defined as, “planned points of conflict in any roadway system. This includes U.S. and state highways, county roads and local streets,” according to the FHWA. People use intersections to navigate through or turn from one route to another. Anytime different paths cross, separate or join it creates a conflict point. Conflict points are always present at intersections.
