At which location do accidents occur most frequently?

Intersections
Highways
Roundabouts
Parking lots

The correct answer is: Intersections

Accidents occur most frequently at intersections due to a variety of factors. Intersections are complex areas where multiple vehicles and pedestrians converge, often leading to conflicts. Drivers must make decisions such as yielding, turning, or stopping, all of which increase the risk of collisions. Additionally, intersections are often locations where traffic signals change, and drivers might misjudge the timing of a light or the distance to other vehicles, which can further lead to accidents. The combination of high traffic volume, varied driver behaviors, and the necessity for quick decision-making contributes to a higher incidence of accidents in these areas compared to highways, roundabouts, or parking lots.
