Question

multiple choice: 1. by design, intersections are risky because: a. traffic signals might not always work. b. drivers pay close attention to other road users. c. vehicles cross one another’s paths of travel at various angles. d. pedestrians typically cross roads and streets quickly.

Explanation:

Intersections are risky mainly because vehicles cross each other's paths at different angles, increasing the likelihood of collisions. Traffic signals not always working is a secondary factor, drivers paying close attention is a positive - not a risk - factor, and pedestrians crossing quickly is not the main design - related risk factor for intersections.

Answer:

c. Vehicles cross one another's paths of travel at various angles.
