Common Causes of Traffic Collisions in Manhattan
Manhattan’s busy streets, heavy congestion, and constant flow of vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians contribute to a high rate of traffic accidents. Some of the most frequent causes include:
- Distracted driving: Cell phone use, navigation apps, and other distractions reduce drivers’ attention.
- Failure to yield: Collisions often occur when drivers fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks or other vehicles at intersections.
- Speeding and aggressive driving: Even small speed increases can make collisions more severe in Manhattan’s dense traffic.
- Impaired driving: Alcohol or drug use remains a leading factor in serious crashes.
- Unsafe lane changes: Drivers weaving through traffic or failing to check blind spots often cause side-impact accidents.
- Heavy pedestrian and cyclist activity: Manhattan’s crowded streets increase the likelihood of multi-party collisions.
