Safe Driving on Richmond’s Roadways
Collisions on busy routes like Midlothian Turnpike underscore the importance of cautious driving, particularly during overnight and early morning hours when visibility is reduced. Traffic flow, fatigue, and limited lighting can all increase risks for drivers.
Motorists are encouraged to obey speed limits, remain focused on the road, and avoid distractions such as texting or adjusting in-car systems. Defensive driving techniques—like keeping a safe distance from other vehicles, adjusting speed for conditions, and preparing for sudden changes in traffic—play a vital role in reducing collisions.
By practicing patience and attentiveness, Richmond drivers can help make the city’s streets safer for themselves and others.
