Failing to do so can place liability for any collisions on the negligent driver.

Defective Traffic Signals & Poor Signage

Reckless driving that can cause an intersection accident includes:

  • Failure to yield at stop signs.
  • Failure to yield to yellow lights.
  • Illegally making left and right hand turns either into or against traffic.
  • Failure to yield to pedestrians, regardless of whether or not said pedestrians are following traffic laws.
  • Traveling at speeds greater than the posted speed limit.
  • Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

While many intersection accidents are caused by speeding, neglectful, and intoxicated motorists, many more are caused due to poor directions and traffic signage at the intersection. Traffic signals are supposed to clearly direct traffic and prevent all accidents.

When they become faulty, it could send crossed signals to drivers, resulting in an impact. Other important signs, such as a stop sign, might become damaged, enshrouded by nearby foliage, or go missing, which also increases the chance of an intersection accident. The city or council tasked with roadway maintenance could be partially or totally liable for damages in such intersection accidents.
