Why Intersections Are Especially Dangerous for Motorcyclists. Intersections rank among the most hazardous spots on the road for motorcyclists, as vehicles are often turning, crossing lanes, or changing direction in a confined space. Motorists can often struggle to see motorcycles because of their compact size, particularly in the early morning rush. Crashes at intersections frequently result in serious injuries since riders have little physical protection in the event of a collision.
