An alarming amount of motor vehicle accidents occur at intersections, making them extremely high risk areas for motorists.  An increasing number take place as a result of aggressive driving.  One-third of all automobile accidents occur at intersections.  Many factors contribute to intersection accidents including motorists running red lights, changing lanes, speeding up in the middle of intersections, and failing to stop at stop signs.  Intersection accidents often cause serious, at times, even fatal injuries and property damage.

Bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians pose an even higher risk for injury since they have limited protection.  One of the most tragic accidents occurs when a motor vehicle collides with a pedestrian.

While many issues contribute to intersection accidents, they are not always the fault of the drivers involved.  Defective design, improperly maintained roads,    poorly placed or faded traffic signs, visual obstruction, and malfunctioning traffic signals increase the risk of accidents.
