According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Division, twice as many crashes occur at intersections with traffic control devices than at intersections without them. The primary reason is driver error. As a matter of fact, a report published by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety indicates that most collisions at controlled intersections occur after a complete stop because the driver fails to look both ways before proceeding through the intersection. The other driver fails to recognize a stop or yield sign, resulting in a collision. This is where the use of SIPDE is most beneficial.
Drivers must always assume that side traffic will not stop or yield, even if they have the “right of way.” The best thing a driver can do to avoid being involved in a collision at an intersection is to look both ways before entering. In fact, look and look again. A quick glance left, right and left will help a driver be prepared for another vehicle that may not yield. If you are using SIPDE, you should be ready to make an evasive move if necessary. Incidentally, the law really never gives anyone the right-of-way; rather, it tells who must yield .
