What Factors Contribute to Bicycle Accidents on Coastal Highways? Bicycle accidents on coastal highways can happen due to narrow shoulders and elevated vehicle speeds. State highways and similar roads often have consistent traffic flow, heightening dangers for cyclists who share them. Visibility issues may also play a role, particularly in spots with bends or varying light.
