Car Accidents in Texas
Texas drivers face daily hazards, and collisions continue to affect thousands of people every year. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that there was not a single day without a traffic-related death in 2023. That’s why staying alert on the road is so vital—especially during midday hours when traffic tends to spike.
Let’s take a closer look at one of the key issues contributing to vehicle accidents: poor road conditions.
- Potholes and Uneven Surfaces: Rough pavement can cause drivers to lose control, especially if they are speeding or fail to spot the hazard. Sudden swerving to avoid potholes can lead to multi-vehicle crashes.
- Lack of Road Signage: Missing or poorly placed signs may leave drivers unsure about speed limits, lane changes, or upcoming intersections. This lack of information increases the chance of driver error.
- Worn Lane Markings: When road paint fades, it becomes difficult to judge where one lane ends and another begins. This can cause drivers to drift unintentionally into other lanes, raising the risk of side collisions.
- Insufficient Lighting: Dark roadways without proper lighting make it harder to identify pedestrians, animals, and other vehicles—especially at night or in bad weather.
- Poor Drainage: Water buildup from storms can make roadways slick and dangerous. Hydroplaning and loss of traction are common when roads are not properly graded to allow water runoff.
