When approaching an intersection, what should you be particularly aware of?

Being particularly aware of the possible actions of the vehicles around you when approaching an intersection is crucial for safety. Intersections are high-risk areas where multiple traffic paths converge, and the behavior of other drivers can be unpredictable. Observing the movements and intentions of nearby vehicles allows a motorcyclist to anticipate potential hazards, such as a car that may run a red light or a vehicle preparing to make a left turn in front of you.

Awareness of surrounding vehicles helps you make informed decisions, such as whether to slow down, change lanes, or prepare to avoid a potential collision. Understanding the dynamics of traffic flow and being vigilant about what other drivers may do can significantly minimize the risk of accidents at intersections.
