Intersections can be extremely dangerous areas on our nation's roadways. This is especially true in the South. From 2004 through 2022, more than 73,000 people were killed in intersection-related ...
Crashes at intersections (road junctions) are a very common type of road collision types.

An intersection or an at-grade junction is a junction where two or more roads converge, diverge, meet or cross at the same height, as opposed to an interchange, which uses bridges or tunnels to separate different roads. Major intersections are often delineated by gores and may be classified by road segments, traffic controls and lane design.
Pedestrian crossing, line markings and street furniture A curb extension at a mid-block crosswalk A traffic circle applied to a four-way intersection as a means of improving its safety. This device, with a proven record of collision reductions and traffic flow improvement, turns the cross-intersection into four virtual three-way intersections.
