Common Road Issues to Look For that May Result in an Accident
- Intersections: Intersections are one of the most common places where vehicular accidents can occur. Accidents can result if the amount of vehicles exceeds the road designers expectations in an intersection as well as limited visibility or lack of traffic signals to control the cars.
- Highway Construction Hazards: Both Federal and State regulations are in place to ensure the safety of drivers and workers alike during construction; this can involve warning signs, barriers, or a flagging crew to alert drivers. If such elements are not present, an accident could easily result.
- Falling Road Materials: If bridges and roads are not properly maintained, loose concrete or asphalt could fall and strike a vehicle or even a pedestrian. In addition, debris left by road crews can also trigger serious problems.
Taking on a negligent or reckless driver is one thing, but implicating the Department of Transportation can be a slippery slope.
