Intersection Crashes in Texas

You most likely go through a number of intersections any time you drive a car. These areas can be very dangerous, even though most drivers do not think twice before entering an intersection. According to statistics, intersections account for roughly 20 percent of traffic fatalities and 50 percent of injury crashes in the United States. There is only so much that a stop sign or traffic signal can do to stop a collision, and drivers are ultimately in control of whether or not they will enter a crossroads, regardless if they have the right of way. Turning left without yielding the right-of-way resulted in 5.62 percent of auto accidents in Texas in 2023.
