Car Accidents in Massachusetts

Each year, Massachusetts sees a significant number of car accidents, many of which occur in high-density cities like Boston. Intersections in residential areas can be particularly dangerous due to limited visibility, closely packed buildings, and high foot traffic. Local and state data continue to show that a substantial number of injury crashes happen during morning commuting hours.

Here are some frequent issues that contribute to intersection-related crashes:

• Tight Corners: Narrow roads and sharp turns in older parts of the city can restrict driver visibility and increase the risk of collisions.

• Increased Foot Traffic: Pedestrian presence is often higher near residential zones and mixed-use areas, adding to the potential for distraction.

• Inattention: Many crashes occur when drivers fail to yield, miss stop signs, or are distracted by devices or navigation systems.

• Close Building Proximity: Buildings close to the street can obstruct views, making it harder for drivers to spot cross traffic or other hazards in time.

• Limited Lane Space: Two-way streets in older neighborhoods may not offer enough space for larger vehicles to maneuver safely, especially during turns.

• Rush Hour Congestion: Morning and evening rush hours bring high volumes of traffic into tight spaces, heightening accident potential.
