Each year, approximately one-half of all traffic-related injuries take place at intersections in the U.S. In one recent year’s time in the entirety of the U.S., in fact, it is estimated that approximately 2.5 million intersection accidents took place. These accidents happen due to many different reasons, including some of the following:
- Driver distractions
- Drunk or drugged driving
