Traffic light accidents are some of the most common accidents on the road, especially for large commercial vehicles.
Staying alert and anticipating changes at traffic lights can help prevent these accidents. Watch the light from a distance as you approach, check your mirrors for tailgaters, and be prepared to stop well in advance. Always scan left to right for oncoming traffic that may run the light, even when you have the right of way.
Taking a few extra seconds to stay alert at every intersection can make a big difference.
