Motorcycle Versus Car Accidents at Shopping Malls and Centers

Car, truck and pedestrian accidents commonly occur at shopping center entrances/exits. Intersections are naturally dangerous. In addition, shopping center/mall parking lots often alter traffic flow patterns at entrances and exits. This leads to an increased risk of accidents, especially when the parking lot entrance/exit is located at or near a major intersection. For example, accidents often occur at shopping center entrances that require travel across more than one lane in order to enter/exit, especially when stop signs or traffic lights are not provided.

In addition, shopping center entrances pose a real threat to motorcycle riders. This is due to the fact that drivers often fail to see motorcycles until it is too late to avoid an accident. Drivers tend to have a hard time noticing motorcycles because motorcycles are naturally much smaller than even regular sized passenger cars.
