Passing drivers tend to look at the accident. People often run across the road without looking. Vehicles may slow or stop suddenly. People in and around shopping areas are often not watching traffic because they are looking for stores or looking into store windows. Confused drivers often change direction suddenly or stop without warning.
Confusion is common near freeway or turnpike interchanges and major intersections.
Tourists unfamiliar with the area can be very hazardous. Hesitation is another clue, including driving very slowly, using brakes often, or stopping in the middle of an intersection. You may also see drivers who are looking at street signs, maps, and house numbers. These drivers may not be paying attention to you. Motorists who fail to maintain normal speed are hazards.
