In general, it is true that it is less dangerous to drive on rural roads than it is to drive in heavy traffic, simply because there is less danger of colliding with other vehicles. But if you drive badly enough, you can still collide with a tree, while driving on a rural road.
Cruise control could be dangerous if used on wet/slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
High occupancy lanes and heavy traffic
Toll roads
The Roads and Traffic Authority or a court imposes an habitual offenders declaration when a driver accumulates a specified number of serious traffic offences within a certain timeframe, typically involving repeated violations such as dangerous driving, driving under the influence, or other serious breaches of traffic laws. This declaration can result in the suspension of the driver's license for an extended period, reflecting the driver's pattern of unsafe driving behavior. The aim is to enhance road safety and deter future violations.
Driving on an expressway is different from driving on regular roads because expressways typically have higher speed limits, limited access points, and multiple lanes for traffic flow. This can require drivers to maintain a higher level of focus and awareness compared to driving on regular roads.
Depends on how fast you are driving. On a very few high speed roadways you could travel 900 miles or so. On most roads, about 400. In heavy traffic, about 200.
Sunday is a heavy traffic day between LA and LV, but the roads aren't too busy at 6am on Sundays. The best resource I have found for the LA to LV commute is www.bigtraffic.com. This site gives real time traffic updates for the LA to LV drive including tweets from people currently driving it. Hope that helps.
The roads become slick when it rains and driving the car can be dangerous.
YES.... but you have to be prepared to boost or low your speed depending on the hill, i personally think its more work than driving regularly. NO, never use it in heavy traffic, when it is raining, when towing, in the fog, on hilly terrain, or when there is ice or snow on the road. Use it on 4 lane roads with light traffic.
Heavy rain - heavy snow accumulation - icy roads - high winds - heavy traffic.
Yes, ice roads can be dangerous to travel on due to the risk of thin ice, sudden changes in weather conditions, and potential hazards such as cracks or pressure ridges. It is important to exercise caution and follow safety guidelines when driving on ice roads.
Safer roads and also helped the life of pedestrians who had to cross roads. Although you could argue they slowed down driving quite a bit.
