Dangerous Road Conditions
Driving
is the most used form of
transportation in
America. As drivers we
expect the roads and
highways we must travel
on to work, shop and
play to be safe. Our
State and City
Governments are required
by law to maintain the
quality of our roadways
and provide safe streets
and freeways.
Unfortunately this is
not always the case.
Many traffic accidents
are caused every year
because of dangerous
road conditions, unsafe
conditions and hazardous
roadways.
There are many dangerous
roadway conditions that
will put drivers and
passengers at risk while
traveling, such as:
Bad Roads - This
includes the design,
friction, width of the
lanes, angle of curves,
and wear and tear of the
road itself.
Lighting- Lighting plays
a key role in night
driving. Inadequate
lightning makes it
difficult for a driver
to see other vehicles,
landmarks, or
pedestrians.
Weather- Different
weather conditions
provide drivers with
different safety risks,
including slippery and
icy roads, patches of
black ice, heavy rain,
and fog.
Signals and signs- If
traffic signals and
signs are not in plain
view, or are blocked
they may cause
accidents.
Pavement- Any
substandard patches of
pavement, including
potholes, drop-offs,
texture, and bumps can
put drivers at risk.
Road construction-
During road construction
debris may be strewn on
the road, and lanes may
be closed off without
sufficient warning to
drivers.
Improperly Installed
Rails Rails are meant
to make drivers safer,
but there are thousands
of miles of improperly
installed rails in
America that cause many
accidents every year.
The Department of
Transportation in each
State is responsible for
maintaining the road
conditions throughout
each state. They have
very strict standards
and regulations on
roadway maintenance and
repair and bad weather
is no excuse for bad
road conditions.
If you or a loved one
has been seriously
injured in a traffic
accident due to
hazardous roadways or
dangerous road
conditions, you should
consult with an
experienced traffic
accident lawyer.
