Tips for Staying Safe in Busy Intersections

Collisions in busy intersections are unfortunately common, but drivers can reduce risks by:

• Obeying all traffic signals and signs.
• Scanning all directions before proceeding through an intersection.
• Yielding properly to pedestrians and oncoming vehicles when turning.
• Avoiding distractions like texting, eating, or adjusting the radio.
• Proceeding cautiously even when the light turns green, especially in areas with high traffic volume or poor visibility.

Practicing defensive driving in busy intersections like Franklin Blvd and Valley Hi Dr can prevent serious accidents.
