Intersections in Milwaukee bring together vehicles traveling in opposing directions as well as people on foot crossing streets and people riding bicycles and scooters. Transportation planners describe intersections as points of planned conflict. As a result of all the conflicting movement, traffic flow must be regulated and traffic rules followed. Motor vehicle accidents commonly occur at intersections because drivers are unclear about who has the right of way or disregard traffic safety rules. Among the ways that intersection collisions occur are:

• Failure to stop at a red light or stop sign
• Failing to yield to an oncoming car when waiting to make a left turn
• Proceeding through an intersection into the path of another vehicle because of a lack of understanding of which vehicle has the right of way
• Misjudging approaching vehicles when turning right at an intersection
• Driving distracted and running into the car in front that has stopped at an intersection
• Malfunctioning traffic lights causing confusion.

Many Milwaukee intersections accidents are right-angle crashes or side impact crashes.” Vehicles traveling on perpendicular streets collide because one of the drivers failed to yield the right of way when passing through an intersection. It is important for all motorists to know Wisconsin traffic rules.
