Driver Safety: Navigating Busy Interchanges
Highway interchanges, like the I-80/I-5 junction, can be particularly hazardous due to merging traffic, high speeds, and reduced visibility. Drivers should:
- Maintain a safe following distance to allow time for sudden stops.
- Stay alert when changing lanes and use turn signals early.
- Adjust speed for traffic and road conditions, especially in fog, rain, or heavy congestion.
- Avoid distractions, including mobile devices or in-car screens.
These precautions can help prevent serious solo-vehicle and multi-car crashes.

Why You Should Hire a Personal Injury Attorney After a Crash
Even when only one vehicle is involved, crash victims may face medical bills, lost income, and long-term recovery costs. A personal injury attorney can:
- Investigate the crash to determine liability.
- Communicate with insurance companies on your behalf.
- Pursue compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Having legal guidance ensures your rights are protected while you focus on recovery.
