Intersections are frequent accident sites since they feature crossing paths of vehicles and pedestrians. Visibility plays a key role in these scenarios, particularly during peak hours with increased traffic volume. The design of roads, lighting, and traffic signals can also affect how incidents develop in these locations. Driver speed and reaction time are frequently crucial factors.
