Intersections are supposed to control the flow of traffic and prevent crashes between vehicles. While this is what happens most of the time, crashes are also common occurrences at intersections. This is true in cities and rural areas — and it is true at both controlled and uncontrolled intersections.
When there are traffic lights, motorists sometimes try to speed through yellow lights — or think they can safely "turn right on red" without looking properly. When an intersection is a four-way stop, drivers of cars and motorcycles often misjudge one another's intentions to stop, yield or continue through an intersection.
When an intersection has no signs or traffic signal, it should work like a four-way stop — but some drivers fail to exercise proper precautions.
At any type of intersection, speeding vehicles and left turns are common hazards. It can be difficult to realize how fast a car or motorcycle is coming toward you. Drivers turning left sometimes fail to yield to oncoming traffic — perhaps because of miscalculation of speed.
Did the Driver of the Car Say, "I Didn't See the Motorcycle"?
And some intersection crashes happen because one motorist simply "did not see" the other, for whatever reason.
Was your left leg severely injured below the knee when you were attempting to turn left at an intersection on your motorcycle, and an oncoming car sped up and crashed into you? An investigation may reveal that you yielded properly, but the other motorist's excessive speed caused the crash.
