Why Rural Roads Are Risky
Arizona’s rural roads offer beautiful views and open stretches. They also carry hidden dangers. Many of these roads are narrow, have limited visibility, and lack proper lighting or guardrails. Drivers often travel faster than is safe, increasing the risk of serious collisions.
Dangers from Farm Equipment
Farm vehicles such as tractors, harvesters, and trailers often move slowly and can take up an entire lane. Drivers unfamiliar with rural areas may not expect these slow-moving vehicles. Collisions with farm equipment can cause severe injuries because of the size and weight of the machinery.
Common Rural Road Accidents
Rural roads in Arizona see a range of accidents. Some of the most common include:
-
Head-on collisions with oncoming vehicles
-
Rear-end crashes caused by sudden stops or slow-moving farm vehicles
-
Collisions with tractors, harvesters, or other farm machinery
-
Single-vehicle accidents due to sharp curves or uneven road surfaces
-
Rollover accidents from high speeds on narrow lanes
Who Can Be Liable
Accidents on rural roads can involve multiple parties. In some cases, the farm operator or property owner may share liability. Local governments can also be responsible if roads are poorly maintained or lack warnings. Investigating the cause of the accident is key to protecting your rights.
