Note: One of the most common causes of crashes at intersections is running a red light. The safe driver is disciplined to resist the temptation to “beat the light”, opting to approach with caution and prepared to stop. We encourage motorists to adopt this practice to reduce these injury and property damage crashes. Take your time, be alert and give traffic safety the attention it deserves.
