Analyze collision statistics by location

Statistically, intersections are the most dangerous areas on the road. They are places where multiple paths of travel cross, requiring drivers to make quick decisions regarding yielding, turning, and speed.

Evaluate the options

• in a parking lot: While low-speed fender benders are common here, major or high-frequency severe collisions are not statistically the highest.
• at an intersection: According to traffic safety data, a large percentage of all crashes and nearly half of all urban crashes occur at intersections.
• on an expressway: Expressways have controlled access and one-way traffic flow, which statistically reduces the overall frequency of collisions compared to intersections.
• on a rural road: Rural roads have high fatality rates due to speed, but the overall frequency/chance of a collision is highest where traffic flows conflict directly.

Connect to defensive driving

Using Defensive Driving principles, drivers must recognize that intersections present the highest conflict frequency. Extra caution, scanning, and speed management are required when approaching any intersection.
