Any number of bad things can happen to lead to people being injured while on their bicycle when they are stopped at a stoplight or a stop sign. One of the main reasons for injuries is that the bicyclist is in the same lane of travel as other cars who are on the road with the bicycle and the size discrepancy between the two can lead to serious injuries. These are the most common accidents that take place at stoplights:
- Left hand turns
- Drunk drivers
- Driving too fast for conditions
- Speeding
- Illegal U-turns
Often times, however, the most common reason is that a driver simply does not pay attention to the road ahead of them and crashes into a bicyclist who is waiting patiently for the light to turn green or for the traffic to clear so the bicyclists can proceed through the intersection.
