Safety Tips: Staying Alert Around Freeway Interchanges

Freeway interchanges like the S Watt Avenue exit are high-risk areas due to merging vehicles, sudden lane changes, and heavy traffic flow. Drivers can reduce the risk of collisions by:

• Maintaining a safe following distance
• Reducing speed when approaching exit ramps
• Staying alert for merging traffic
• Avoiding distractions, especially during high-density traffic periods

Practicing defensive driving in these areas helps minimize the likelihood of serious accidents.
