High-Traffic Roads Are High-Risk Roads
Anyone in Castle County, Delaware, could name the most congested roads without having to think too hard about it. According to Delaware’s Department of Transportation, they include:
- DE92 between Foulk Road and US 13
- DE 2
- Churchman’s Crossing
- Several sections of INterstate-95
In fact, the entire Newark area is listed as high-traffic. Every person reading this can think of a traffic jam they were in, likely several times, where the congestion was far worse due to an accident.
Things That Make Congested Roads More Dangerous
Busy roads mean that vehicles are in close proximity at high speeds. This is already a dangerous situation, but certain factors make these moments much more dangerous:
- Inattention
- Alcohol use
- Texting and driving
- Distractions in the car
- Inclement weather
Any factor that impairs one’s ability to focus or makes maneuvering more difficult raises risks on the road. This is how busy roads become accident-prone.
