Intersection Crashes in Michigan

Intersections are among the most common sites for motor vehicle accidents in Michigan. Whether in busy metro areas or smaller townships, these locations are hot spots for collisions. According to statewide traffic data, a large percentage of injury crashes occur where roads meet, often due to driver miscalculations, distractions, or misinterpretation of signals.

Many factors make intersections particularly dangerous. Here’s why so many injury crashes happen at these crossings:

• Speeding Through Yellow Lights: Drivers trying to “beat the light” may accelerate through yellow signals instead of slowing down, raising the risk of a collision. This behavior leaves little room for others to anticipate or respond.
• Blocked Line of Sight: Obstructions such as large vehicles, poles, or poorly trimmed foliage can block a driver's view of oncoming traffic. Without a clear line of sight, it becomes more difficult to make safe left turns or navigate cross-traffic.
• Turning Without Signaling: Failing to signal turns confuses other drivers and can lead to unexpected lane changes or stops. Proper signaling helps coordinate movements and reduce the chance of accidents.
• Rear-End Collisions: At traffic lights, abrupt stops or distracted drivers may lead to rear-end crashes. These are among the most frequent types of crashes at intersections and can cause whiplash or other soft-tissue injuries.
• Failure to Obey Traffic Signs: Running stop signs or ignoring yield signs often results in dangerous side-impact crashes. These are particularly risky as side protection in vehicles is more limited than frontal impact zones.
